Which consequence results when van der Waals forces dominate?

💡 Explanation

Increased volatility occurs because London dispersion forces weaken molecular interactions. Therefore, substances evaporate easier, rather than the molecules forming stronger bonds or displaying other properties associated with different intermolecular forces.
