Parent (intermediate) annotation
Open it At room temperature (which we shall take to be ~300 K), the value of the thermal energy is ~2.5 kJ•mol −1 . Th is means that if an interaction between two atoms is stabilized by less than ~2.5 kJ•mol −1 , then this interaction is very easily disrupted by collisions at room tem- perature. It is by this criterion that the van der Waals attraction is very weak
