These two factors make the combination of van der Waals and electrostatic interactions between stacked bases particularly strong:
Answer
The bases, both purines and pyrimidines, are flat and planar, so they can stack on top of one another.
The atoms of the aromatic rings are very polarizable, and many of the atoms have a partial charge.
