Re: London Interaction Strength
the strength of LDF is dependent on the distance (r) between the molecules and the polarizability (alpha) of each molecule. The formula for the potential energy is (alpha1*alpha2)/r^6.

Re: London Interaction Strength
The strength of London forces are dependent on the same factors as dipole-dipole bonds. If two molecules are more rod shaped, the bond will be stronger than if they were spherical. The closer the molecules are, the stronger the bond will be.
