Which statement is true about van der Waals interactions? Group of answer choices a) van der Waals are weak forces, about 5-10 kcal/mol. b) van der Waals' attractions exist because every atom has an electron cloud that fluctuates, yielding a transient electric dipole – the dipoles of one atom can influence the electron distribution in another, inducing a transient dipole in that atom. c) van der Waals' forces include all intermolecular forces that act between electrically charged molecules. d) van der Waals interactions are most favorable when the atoms are at a distance slightly shorter than when they are covalently bonded.
