Potential energy due to these forces is often modeled as proportional to the inverse sixth power of distance, and a subtype whose strength depends on polarizability and dipole moment is sometimes named for Debye.
Potential energy due to these forces is often modeled as proportional to the inverse sixth power of distance, and a subtype whose strength depends on polarizability and dipole moment is sometimes named for Debye. Another subtype accounts for the higher boiling points of straight molecules compared to spherical molecules with an equal number of electrons and for the ability of (*) geckos to climb glass surfaces; those induced dipole-induced dipole forces are also known as London dispersion forces. For 10 points, identify this type of intermolecular force, weaker than covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bonds, named for a Dutch scientist.
