van der Waals bond |
|
|
|
A relatively weak kind of intermolecular bond that forms when one side of a molecule develops a slight negative charge because a number of electrons have temporarily moved to that side of the molecule. This negative charge attracts the nuclei of the atoms of a neighboring molecule. The side of the molecule with fewer electrons develops a slight positive charge that attracts the electrons of the atoms of neighboring molecules.
