  2. Intermolecular force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermolecular_force

    The interaction has its immense importance in justifying the stability of various ions (like Cu 2+) in water. An ion–induced dipole force consists of an ion and a non-polar molecule interacting. Like a dipole–induced dipole force, the charge of the ion causes distortion of the electron cloud on the non-polar molecule. [9]

  3. 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.

  4. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    Two charges are present with a negative charge in the middle (red shade), and a positive charge at the ends (blue shade). In chemistry , polarity is a separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an electric dipole moment , with a negatively charged end and a positively charged end.

  5. Ionic bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_bonding

    The charge of the resulting ions is a major factor in the strength of ionic bonding, e.g. a salt C + A − is held together by electrostatic forces roughly four times weaker than C 2+ A 2− according to Coulomb's law, where C and A represent a generic cation and anion respectively. The sizes of the ions and the particular packing of the ...

  6. Chemical bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bond

    Covalent bonding of two hydrogen atoms to form a hydrogen molecule, H 2. In (a) the two nuclei are surrounded by a cloud of two electrons in the bonding orbital that holds the molecule together. (b) shows hydrogen's antibonding orbital, which is higher in energy and is normally not occupied by any electrons. A chemical bond is the association ...

  7. Double layer forces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_layer_forces

    Double layer forces occur between charged objects across liquids, typically water. This force acts over distances that are comparable to the Debye length, which is on the order of one to a few tenths of nanometers. The strength of these forces increases with the magnitude of the surface charge density (or the electrical surface potential). For ...

  8. Exchange interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange_interaction

    (3), is the two-site two-electron Coulomb integral (It may be interpreted as the repulsive potential for electron-one at a particular point () in an electric field created by electron-two distributed over the space with the probability density ()), [a] is the overlap integral, and is the exchange integral, which is similar to the two-site ...

  9. Ion association - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_association

    In chemistry, ion association is a chemical reaction whereby ions of opposite electric charge come together in solution to form a distinct chemical entity. [1] [2] Ion associates are classified, according to the number of ions that associate with each other, as ion pairs, ion triplets, etc. Ion pairs are also classified according to the nature of the interaction as contact, solvent-shared or ...
