These entities account for the attractive term in the Lennard-Jones potential, and one type of them is named for Keesom. The structure of geckos' feet enables the lizards to use these to adhere to walls, and they also include Debye forces. Their namesake also formulated a correction to the ideal gas law, and they include one type that results from the interaction of temporary dipoles, London dispersion forces. For 10 points, name these weak attractive forces between gas molecules, named for a Dutch scientist.
