In two or more complete sentences describe all of the van der Waals forces that exist between molecules of hydrogen sulfide, H2S.

justjm:

-All molecules have London Dispersion forces because dipoles temporarily form -Now if you map out the lewis structure of H2S, and check it's molecular geometry, it's a bent structure with 2 lone pairs and 2 bonding regions around the central atom, S. This means electrons are not equally distributed about the molecular geometry of H2S, hence H2S is polar. So what van der Waals force does that point to?
