Van der Waals forces refer to the sum of the intermolecular forces acting between molecules of covalently bonded compounds. In some cases, there are more than one force, as in polar compounds; in non-polar compounds there is only one type of force present. The van der Waals forces include hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interaction, and London dispersion forces.
