London dispersion forces are weak intermolecular forces that arise from the temporary fluctuations in electron distribution within molecules, leading to the formation of instantaneous dipoles. These forces are a type of Van der Waals force and are present in all molecules, regardless of whether they are polar or nonpolar. They play a significant role in the physical properties of substances, particularly in gases and nonpolar liquids.
congrats on reading the definition of London dispersion forces. now let's actually learn it.
