Waalslike
Waalslike is a term used to describe phenomena or forces that exhibit characteristics similar to Van der Waals forces. Van der Waals forces are weak, short-range attractions between molecules that arise from temporary fluctuations in electron distribution, leading to temporary dipoles. These forces are distinct from stronger chemical bonds like covalent or ionic bonds.
When a phenomenon is described as "Waalslike," it implies a similar mechanism of transient, induced, or weak
Examples of phenomena that might be considered Waalslike could include certain types of adhesion between surfaces,
