London Dispersion Force

Real World Example

Imagine you're at a crowded party, and everyone is evenly spread out, but suddenly, a famous celebrity walks in, drawing people closer to their side of the room and causing an uneven distribution. This is similar to how electrons, which are usually evenly spread around an atom, can suddenly shift and cluster on one side, creating a temporary imbalance. Just like the crowd at the party creates a temporary pull towards the celebrity, the clustered electrons create a temporary dipole, resulting in a weak attraction between molecules, known as the London dispersion force.
