TL;DR Summary

the consept of van der waals bonds

Hello, when reviewing the types of chemical bonds i was a little bit confused about van der waals interactions, in the definition we talk about momentarily disproportion of electrons that provoke a dipole , and then i read that also include hydrogen bonds .
I am a bit confused about van der waals bonds can anyone enlighten me ,thanks.

I wouldn't consider hydrogen bonds to be van der Waals bonds.

I wouldn't consider hydrogen bonds to be van der Waals bonds.

If they were, TLC theory would probably need to be revised.
