-
A.
van der Waals
chosen

-
B.
London dispersion forces
London dispersion forces are weak, short-range intermolecular attractions arising from temporary fluctuations in electron density that induce instantaneous dipoles between atoms or molecules.
-
C.
theory of London dispersion forces
The theory of London dispersion forces explains the weak, short-range attractive interactions between all atoms and molecules arising from instantaneous, correlated fluctuations in their electron distributions.
-
D.
van der Waals equation of state
The van der Waals equation of state is a thermodynamic equation that improves on the ideal gas law by accounting for the finite size of molecules and the intermolecular forces between them.
-
E.
van der Waals radius
The van der Waals radius is a measure of the effective size of an atom or molecule that reflects how close it can approach another particle without forming a chemical bond.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
