IMF in a tiny molecule like hydrogen is such that extremely close proximity between molecules is necessary to get them to " grab " on to each other enough to overcome even a miniscule amount of kinetic energy; that's why metallic hydrogen requires such extreme pressures to form; even at near absolute zero, hydrogen molecules need to be crammed very close to each other for the extremely tiny london forces between them to form a condensed phase .-- " 32 " 05 : 18, 28 January 2017 ( UTC)
