The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- His name is primarily associated with the van der Waals equation, an equation of state that describes the behavior of gases and their condensation to the liquid phase.
- His name is also associated with van der Waals forces, with van der Waals molecules, and with the van der Waals radius.
- James Clerk Maxwell once said that, "there can be no doubt that the name of Van der Waals will soon be among the foremost in molecular science." In his 1873 thesis, Van der Waals noted the non-ideality of real gases and attributed it to the existence of intermolecular interactions.
