One example of a van der Waals solid is sulfur. In its solid form, sulfur molecules are held together by weak van der Waals forces, resulting in a relatively low melting and boiling point compared to other solids.

Yes, methane (CH4) would exhibit van der Waals forces, specifically London dispersion forces. These forces arise from the temporary shifting of electron distributions, which induces a temporary dipole in neighboring molecules and leads to attraction between them.
Chlorine has a greater value for the van der Waals constant b than ethane. This is because chlorine has a larger molecular size and therefore requires more space for its molecules to move freely, resulting in a larger value of b.
Van der Waals forces, which are weak attractive forces between molecules, can increase the boiling point of a substance. This is because the attraction between molecules makes it more difficult for them to escape into the gas phase. Therefore, substances with stronger van der Waals forces typically have higher boiling points.
The common force is only the Vander-Waal's force.

Solid xenon forms van der Waals bonds between its atoms. These bonds are weak compared to covalent or ionic bonds. Solid xenon is composed of individual xenon atoms that are attracted to each other through these van der Waals forces.

A Gecko cannot stick to Polytetrafluoroethylene (a.k.a. Teflon) due to the plastics resistance to Van Der Waals forces The oil will disrupt the vander waals force that allows a gecko to climb. Plastic is made from oil. Why do gecko's feet stick so well? The the vander waals force unique form by seta, tiny hairs that have spatula shaped tips. Water increase this power and oil will stop it. I saw a gecko slip on a human leg and couldn't believe it. Must of had oily skin?
In solid xenon, the primary type of chemical bonding is van der Waals bonding. This bonding occurs due to the weak attraction forces between the xenon atoms. Solid xenon is a rare example of a molecular solid at low temperatures.
it is a force that make it possible for non-polar molecule to form solid and liquid.

CH4 is a molecular solid. In this solid form, methane molecules are held together by intermolecular forces, such as Van der Waals forces, to form a solid structure.
Temporary dipoles known as Van Der Waals dispersion forces, also loosely referred to as Van Der Waals bonds.
