  2. Coulomb's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb's_law

    Here, k e is a constant, q 1 and q 2 are the quantities of each charge, and the scalar r is the distance between the charges. The force is along the straight line joining the two charges. If the charges have the same sign, the electrostatic force between them makes them repel; if they have different signs, the force between them makes them attract.

  3. Chemical bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bond

    This means that the two shared electrons are closer to one of the atoms than the other, creating an imbalance of charge. Such bonds occur between two atoms with moderately different electronegativities and give rise to dipole–dipole interactions. The electronegativity difference between the two atoms in these bonds is 0.3 to 1.7.

  4. Electrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatics

    The force is along the straight line joining them. If the two charges have the same sign, the electrostatic force between them is repulsive; if they have different signs, the force between them is attractive. If is the distance (in meters) between two charges, then the force between two point charges and is: = | |, where ε 0 = 8.854 187 8188 ...

  5. Coulomb barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb_barrier

    q 1, q 2 are the charges of the interacting particles; r is the interaction radius. A positive value of U is due to a repulsive force, so interacting particles are at higher energy levels as they get closer. A negative potential energy indicates a bound state (due to an attractive force).

  6. Ionic bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_bonding

    Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, or between two atoms with sharply different electronegativities, [1] and is the primary interaction occurring in ionic compounds. It is one of the main types of bonding, along with covalent bonding and metallic bonding. Ions ...

  7. Electric potential energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_potential_energy

    The electrostatic potential energy U E stored in a system of two charges is equal to the electrostatic potential energy of a charge in the electrostatic potential generated by the other. That is to say, if charge q 1 generates an electrostatic potential V 1 , which is a function of position r , then U E = q 2 V 1 ( r 2 ) . {\displaystyle U ...

  8. Intermolecular force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermolecular_force

    The oxygen atom’s two lone pairs interact with a hydrogen each, forming two additional hydrogen bonds, and the second hydrogen atom also interacts with a neighbouring oxygen. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding is responsible for the high boiling point of water (100 °C) compared to the other group 16 hydrides , which have little capability to ...

  9. Electric-field screening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric-field_screening

    In a fluid, with a given permittivity ε, composed of electrically charged constituent particles, each pair of particles (with charges q 1 and q 2) interact through the Coulomb force as = | | ^, where the vector r is the relative position between the charges. This interaction complicates the theoretical treatment of the fluid.
