Abstract
The dipole‐dipole part of the London‐van der Waals interaction energy of a system of N molecules is calculated in the general order of perturbation, using a model which represents each molecule as an isotropic harmonic dipole‐oscillator. The calculation assumes that the characteristic dispersion frequencies of the molecules are all equal. The advantages and limitations of the oscillator model are discussed.
