  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.

    They include both Coulombic interactions between partial charges in polar molecules, and Pauli repulsions between closed electrons shells. [23]: 696 Keesom forces are the forces between the permanent dipoles of two polar molecules. [23]: 701 London dispersion forces are the forces between induced dipoles of different molecules.

    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. Hydrogen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_bond

    An ubiquitous example of a hydrogen bond is found between water molecules. In a discrete water molecule, there are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The simplest case is a pair of water molecules with one hydrogen bond between them, which is called the water dimer and is often used as a model system. When more molecules are present, as is ...

  6. Non-covalent interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-covalent_interaction

    The two major ways that benzene stacks are edge-to-face, with an enthalpy of ~2 kcal/mol, and displaced (or slip stacked), with an enthalpy of ~2.3 kcal/mol. [3] The sandwich configuration is not nearly as stable of an interaction as the previously two mentioned due to high electrostatic repulsion of the electrons in the π orbitals. [3]

  7. Intermolecular force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermolecular_force

    A hydrogen bond refers to the attraction between a hydrogen atom that is covalently bonded to an element with high electronegativity, usually nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine, and another highly electronegative atom. [4] The hydrogen bond is often described as a strong electrostatic interaction.

  8. 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 ...

  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.
