Van der waals force

Explanation:

The intermoleclular forces are attraction between molecules. Interatomic forces are attraction between atoms in a compound.

In most hydrocarbons the weak Van der waals attraction are known.

These forces are weak attraction joining non-polar and polar molecules together.
These forces can also be found in layers of graphite.
They are of two types;

London dispersion forces are attraction that exists between non-polar molecules and the noble gas.

Dipole - Dipole attractions are forces of attraction existing in polar molecules.

In hydrocarbons, we have non-polar molecules and intermolecular attraction is london dispersion forces.
