Both isotopes of He are inert and light gases, which among other things means that their electronic dipole polarizabilities are small, thus making the van der Waals interaction between individual atoms weak, but also that the zero point motion is large.

For a molecular dielectricum consisting of a single kind of non-polar molecules, the proportionality factor it is assumed that the molecular polarizabilities are additive; if this is not the case, the expression can still be used when α is replaced by an effective polarizability.
