Van der Waals interactions result when electrons are not symmetrically distributed in a molecule
between the nucleus of one molecule and the electrons of a nearby molecule.
Maybe Van Der Waals interactions?
Van der Waals interactions
van der waals' forces are a group of relatively weak intermolecular interactions which generally result when a molecule or group of molecules become polarized into a magnetic dipole.
Van der Waals forces
No, Van Der Walls forces are just interactions based on the statistical distribution of molecular electrons and are not very strong at all. Google Gecko and Van Der Waals forces.
Yes, most probably Van der Waals interactions

Van der Waals - they're the weakest.
He2 is a molecule where the bonding is only due to van der waals interactions as the molecular orbital diagram shows that both the bonding and antibonding sigma orbitals are full.
van der Waals forces dipole-dipole interactions
Dipole-dipole interactions and van der Waals forces of attraction
Weak bonds help to determine and stabilize the shapes of molecules. I onic bonds, hydrogen bonds, and van der Waals interactions are considered weak bonds.
Van der Waals forces are weak intermolecular/inter atomic forces. Differentiated from covalent bonding, interionic attraction and hydrogen bondsThey are electrostatic forces due todipole dipole interactions (actually permanent multipoles)dipole -induced dipole interactionsinstantaneous dipole interactions (London dispersion forces- these are sometimes separated from Van der Waals)Sometimes intermolecular repulsion is included and these are due to Pauli exclusion principle.
