Van Der Waals force is weaker than ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds.
an der Waals force:
A weak attractive force between atoms or nonpolar molecules caused by a temporary change in dipole moment arising from a brief shift of orbital electrons to one side of one atom or molecule, creating a similar shift in adjacent atoms or molecules.

in basic terms some form of stupid weight on a rack which you ought to bring up from the floor over your head. I have no theory how a lot it truly is and those mixed solutions do no longer help.

Incredibly weak - they are the weakest of all intermolecular forces.
