Step-by-step explanation:

The van der Waals' forces are the forces that exist between the millions of separate water molecules, and not between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in the case of water. Dipole-Dipole forces are one of van der Waals' three forces. ... For example, HCl comprised of the atom Hydrogen and Chlorine is polar.
