For the second category, van der Waals interactions can be induced in a molecule that has no charge. In this type of interaction, one of the molecules has a charge (HCl), but the other does not, for example as shown in Figure 3.12 with neon. Nevertheless, a charge can be induced in neon by the presence of the charge in HCl, which influences the electron distribution in the neighboring atom or molecule. As a result, the molecules are attracted.

Figure 3.12 An induced dipole in the otherwise uncharged neon is an example of a Debye interaction.
