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.
The Van der Waals forces are the weakest bond type. They include attractions and repulsions between atoms, molecules, and surfaces, as well as other intermolecular forces. They are names after Dutch scientist Johannes Diderik van der Waals.
Hydrogen
Van der Waals forces are the weakest attractions between molecules.
No, in water, the attraction between H2 and O is a covalent bond that forms the water molecule. Adhesion refers to the attraction between different molecules, while cohesion refers to the attraction between the same molecules. In water, the attraction between H2O molecules is cohesion, and the attraction between water molecules and other substances is adhesion.
In general, the attraction between particles in liquids is weaker than in solids. In liquids, particles have more freedom to move around, which is why liquids can flow and take the shape of their container. In solids, particles are held more tightly together, which is why solids have a definite shape and volume.

Hydrogen
Adhesive forces are the attraction between molecules of different substances. This differs from cohesive forces which is attraction between same substances.
Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same substance, while adhesion is the attraction between molecules of different substances.
Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same substance, leading them to stick together. Adhesion is the attraction between molecules of different substances, causing them to adhere to each other. In simpler terms, cohesion is the attraction between similar molecules, while adhesion is the attraction between different molecules.
Cohesion- Is An Attraction Between Molecules Of The Same Substance.Adhesion- Is An Attraction Between Molecules Of Different Substances.
No Hydrogen is the weakest bond that can possible form between two molecules.

Van der Waals forces are the weakest attractions between molecules.
Hydrogen bonding between polar molecules creates the weakest bonds.
The attraction forces between gas molecules are very small,but it could be increased by applying high preesure and low temperature. Thus it could be concluded that attraction between gas molecules leads to its liquifaction.
The molecules gain energy so they break up the solid structure and move more freely, however, they still have some attraction. More energy is required to weaken this attraction This molecule to molecule attraction is weakest in gaseous state of matter
