    Can please anyone explain that what is difference in types of induced dipole forces? Dispersion, Vander Waals forces and london forces : are they all same?

    Sister Ramsha, Induced Dipole Force , Dispersion force , vander waals force and london forces are all the types of INTERMOLECULAR FORCES and all of them are same on the basis of existing in only non polar molecues. The difference is only that Induced dipole forces occur when the polar molecules induce the polarity in non polar molecules. Whereas,  the Vander Waals force includes  both dispersion and London forces as they are weakest attractions in between the molecules. I hope , that my answer be helpful to you..

    sorry, but i can't understand the difference between induced dipoles and vander waals forces?? I think they are same ??

    Dear sister look, The word induced itself shows that it is producing something, and in context to molecules suppose that we have a container in which HCL and Ar are present, the electrons of Argon atom  will be experiencing a attractive force by H atom and Cl atoms will produce repulsive force due to which polarity on Argon will be produced. Initially Argon was non polar but after emerging of attractive  and repulsive forces polarity on a non polar atom(Ar) has been produced. this is known to be induced dipole force. and you are very right vander waals and Induced dipole both are same because no transferance of Electrons takes place.

    And it is also considered that Vander Waals forces are Induced Dipole forces existing in between polar or nonpolar small molecules.
