My lecturer writes the following in his lecture notes:
“Van der Waal’s : Fluctuating dipole of molecules induces dipoles in molecules or other-
wise neutral atoms (eg noble gases)”
Does a fluctuating dipole refer to a dipole that is changing its orientation in space?
How causes a dipole to be formed within a molecule, provided that there are no nearby fluctuating dipoles?
Finally, how can the fluctuating dipole of one molecule induces dipoles in molecules or other-
wise neutral atoms?
Tahns in advance for any help!
