- Van der Waals forces [r]: Weak forces between (closed-shell) atoms and molecules. Attractive for long distances, repulsive for short distances. Sometimes used as synonym for the attractive London (dispersion) force (the only attractive force between noble gases). [e]
- Van der Waals equation [r]: An equation of state for a fluid composed of particles that have a non-zero size and a pairwise attractive inter-particle force. [e]
- Van der Waals molecule [r]: A stable molecular cluster consisting of two or more molecules held together by van der Waals forces or by hydrogen bonds. [e]
- Van der Waals radius [r]: A theoretical estimate of the size of an atom not engaged in a chemical bond. [e]
