Which consequence results when quantum mechanically treating noble gas dimers?

💡 Explanation

Van der Waals attraction occurs through induced dipoles. This attractive dipole-dipole interaction is caused by temporary fluctuations in electron orbitals, because instantaneous polarization leads to a net attraction; therefore, attraction results rather than highly stable covalent bond formation or significant ionization energy changes.
