- van der Waals force (J.D. van der
Waals)
-
- Forces responsible for the non-ideal
behavior of gases, and for the lattice energy of molecular crystals. There
are three causes: dipole-dipole interaction; dipole-induced dipole moments;
and dispersion forces arising because of small instantaneous dipoles in
atoms.
-
- volt; V (after A. Volta, 1745-1827)
-
- The derived
SI unit of
electric potential, defined as the difference of potential between two
points on a conductor carrying a constant current of 1
A when
the power dissipated between the points is 1
W; it thus
has units of W/A.
