Hydrogen bonds are not a type of van der Waals force; rather, they are distinct directional intermolecular (or intramolecular) interactions involving a hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative atom, whereas van der Waals forces encompass dipole-dipole, dipole-induced dipole, and London dispersion forces.
