Why are Van der Waals forces weak?
Van der Waals forces also known as London Dispersion Forces are weak as they are the cause of temperorary dipole movements in the atoms. It's notable in noble gases.

Van der Waals forces are weak because they result from temporary fluctuations in electron distribution within molecules, leading to temporary dipoles. These forces are weaker than covalent or ionic bonds because they are based on temporary interactions between molecules.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
