    The negative charge distribution that surrounds the nucleus of an atom is due to the atom's electron cloud. As the electrons move around a molecule, it can make a certain position, for an instant, look negative when the electrons are on one side and when they are away from this side it can look positive. This can cause intermolecular attraction and is known as the London Dispersion force of attraction.
