They are a very weak type of intermolecular force.

Explanation:

Van der Waals forces, also known as London Dispersion forces, are intermolecular forces (attractions between molecules, as opposed to within) that arise from the electrostatic attraction between temporary dipoles formed by electrons occupying certain positions in atoms. They are one of the weakest types of intermolecular forces.
