How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T14369230 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
London dispersion forces
London dispersion forces are weak, short-range intermolecular attractions arising from temporary fluctuations in electron density that induce instantaneous dipoles between atoms or molecules.
-
B.
Condon–Morse potential
The Condon–Morse potential is a quantum mechanical model potential used to describe the vibrational structure and energy levels of diatomic molecules with anharmonic behavior.
-
C.
van der Waals
van der Waals is a Dutch surname most famously associated with physicist Johannes Diderik van der Waals, known for his work on the equation of state for gases and liquids and for the concept of van der Waals forces.
-
D.
van der Waals equation of state
The van der Waals equation of state is a thermodynamic equation that improves on the ideal gas law by accounting for the finite size of molecules and the intermolecular forces between them.
-
E.
theory of London dispersion forces
The theory of London dispersion forces explains the weak, short-range attractive interactions between all atoms and molecules arising from instantaneous, correlated fluctuations in their electron distributions.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
