Van Der Waal Interactions
Weak attractions between molecules or parts of molecules that result from transient local partial charges.
Nonpolar Molecules
Molecules that do not possess distinct poles or charges, making them not easily soluble in water.
Attractive Forces
Forces that cause particles or objects to move toward one another, including gravitational, electromagnetic, and molecular interactions.
