London dispersion forces are caused by temporary fluctuations in electron distribution within atoms or molecules. They are not caused by permanent dipoles or hydrogen bonding.
Intermolecular because intermolecular forces occur between molecules, not within the same molecule. Specifically the forces are London dispersion forces, due to the interaction of instantaneous dipoles.
Cl2 has a stronger intermolecular forces, London dispersion forces, as there are more electrons in Cl2 than in F2 It is the electrons that cause the instantaneous dipole-induced dipole interactions, more electrons = more dipoles and more easily induced dipoles = more london forces.
London dispersion forces affect boiling point. For example, larger atoms have stronger London dispersion forces affecting them, thus holding them together stronger, increasing the energy required to pull them apart and thus the boiling temperature. So, for example, the boiling points of ideal gazes increase with size: helium: -269 degrees C, neon: -246 degrees C, argon: -186 degrees C, etc, up to radon: -62 degrees C (note that the temperatures are below zero, so -62 is actually greater than -269 degrees C). Similar principle applies to molecules, such as CHCl3 and CCl4. While one might expect CHCl3 to have greater boiling temperature than CCl4 because it is polar, and has a permanent dipole, while CCl4 is symmetric and does not contain a permanent dipole, both molecules have approximately equal boiling points with CCl4 slightly GREATER than CHCl3. This is because CCl4 has more electrons around it because of the extra chloride atom, so that the induced dipoles are strong, and London dispersion forces holding the molecules together are also strong.

Two non polar molecules will be attracted to each other by dispersion forces (van der Waal forces).
London dispersion is the weakest interatomic force. It relies on the motion of electrons to form a momentary (temporary) multipole in one atom, and induce a momentary multipole on nearby atoms. It is extremely distance sensitive (the energy of the attraction is inversely proportional to the distance between the particles to the sixth power) and is the weakest attractive force in most circumstances. Despite its apparent weakness, London dispersion can be powerful when occurring in large numbers and/or at very small radii. For example, Tokay Gecko feet have many very small protrusions sticking out of them that cause London dispersion interactions between them and the surface. This allows geckos to climb up nearly any surface at any angle.

All polar molecules have a permanent dipole moment, but London dispersion forces in non-polar molecules can cause temporary dipole moments as well.

Deposition is caused by glaciers, water, and wind.
All conflicts are caused by forces in opposition, but not all forces in opposition oppose each other strongly enough to cause conflict (for example civil debate or electromagnetism).

Particles in the atmosphere scatter light and cause dispersion.
