London Dispersion Forces

016 - London Dispersion Forces

In this video Paul Andersen describes the positive force intermolecular forces found between all atoms and molecules.  As electrons are distributed unevenly it creates instantaneous dipoles which hold molecules together.  This force even holds uncharged atoms (like Noble gases) together.  London dispersion forces increase as surface area, molecule sizing and pi bonding increases.
