Their strength as a function of distance can be modeled by the Lennard-Jones potential. Their namesake also names an equation of state which modifies the ideal gas law. Unlike covalent and ionic bonds, they are caused by changes in the (*) polarizations of nearby molecules. One variety of them arises between nonpolar molecules due to induced dipoles, and is known as London dispersion forces. For 10 points, identify these generalized weak intermolecular forces, which are named after a Dutch scien
