  2. Negative air ions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_air_ions

    Due to the strong electronegativity of oxygen and oxygen-containing molecules, they can easily capture free electrons to form negatively charged air ions, most of which are superoxide radicals ·O 2 −, so NAI is mainly composed of negative oxygen ions, also called air negative oxygen ions.

  3. Strong interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_interaction

    In the context of atomic nuclei, the force binds protons and neutrons together to form a nucleus and is called the nuclear force (or residual strong force). [2] Because the force is mediated by massive, short lived mesons on this scale, the residual strong interaction obeys a distance-dependent behavior between nucleons that is quite different ...

  4. Intermolecular force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermolecular_force

    Ion–dipole and ion–induced dipole forces are stronger than dipole–dipole interactions because the charge of any ion is much greater than the charge of a dipole moment. Ion–dipole bonding is stronger than hydrogen bonding. [8] An ion–dipole force consists of an ion and a polar molecule interacting.

  5. Intramolecular force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intramolecular_force

    An intramolecular force (from Latin intra-'within') is any force that binds together the atoms making up a molecule. [1] Intramolecular forces are stronger than the intermolecular forces that govern the interactions between molecules.

  6. Fundamental interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_interaction

    The strong interaction, or strong nuclear force, is the most complicated interaction, mainly because of the way it varies with distance. The nuclear force is powerfully attractive between nucleons at distances of about 1 femtometre (fm, or 10 −15 metres), but it rapidly decreases to insignificance at distances beyond about 2.5 fm. At ...

  7. Orders of magnitude (force) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(force)

    Force necessary to synchronize the motion of a single trapped ion with an external signal measured in a 2010 experiment [2] [3] 10 −22: 170 yN Force measured in a 2010 experiment by perturbing 60 beryllium-9 ions [4] [5] 10 −18 attonewton (aN) 10 −17: 30 aN Smallest force of gravity measured [6] [7] 10 −15 femtonewton (fN) 10 −14 ~10 fN

  8. Earth's magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_magnetic_field

    In addition, positive ions slowly drift westward and negative ions drift eastward, giving rise to a ring current. This current reduces the magnetic field at the Earth's surface. [ 27 ] Particles that penetrate the ionosphere and collide with the atoms there give rise to the lights of the aurorae while also emitting X-rays .

  9. London dispersion force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_dispersion_force

    For example, the total force per unit area between two bulk solids decreases by [7] where is the separation between them. The effects of London dispersion forces are most obvious in systems that are very non-polar (e.g., that lack ionic bonds ), such as hydrocarbons and highly symmetric molecules like bromine (Br 2, a liquid at room temperature ...
