  2. Pauling's rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauling's_rules

    For a given cation, Pauling defined [2] the electrostatic bond strength to each coordinated anion as =, where z is the cation charge and ν is the cation coordination number. A stable ionic structure is arranged to preserve local electroneutrality , so that the sum of the strengths of the electrostatic bonds to an anion equals the charge on ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. ECW model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECW_Model

    A matrix presentation of the equation enhances its utility. [3] Four values, two E and two C were assigned as references. E A and C A of I 2 were chosen as standards. Since I 2 has little tendency to undergo electrostatic bonding, the E A parameter was assigned a small value, 0.5, while the value of C A for the covalent

  5. Chemical bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bond

    A chemical bond is the association of atoms or ions to form molecules, crystals, and other structures. The bond may result from the electrostatic force between oppositely charged ions as in ionic bonds or through the sharing of electrons as in covalent bonds, or some combination of these effects.

  6. Electrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatics

    Therefore, the electrostatic field everywhere inside a conductive object is zero, and the electrostatic potential is constant. The electric field, E {\displaystyle \mathbf {E} } , in units of Newtons per Coulomb or volts per meter, is a vector field that can be defined everywhere, except at the location of point charges (where it diverges to ...

  7. Non-covalent interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-covalent_interaction

    In halogen bonding, a halogen atom acts as an electrophile, or electron-seeking species, and forms a weak electrostatic interaction with a nucleophile, or electron-rich species. The nucleophilic agent in these interactions tends to be highly electronegative (such as oxygen , nitrogen , or sulfur ), or may be anionic , bearing a negative formal ...

  8. Salt bridge (protein and supramolecular) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_bridge_(protein_and...

    Figure 1. Example of salt bridge between amino acids glutamic acid and lysine demonstrating electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding. In chemistry, a salt bridge is a combination of two non-covalent interactions: hydrogen bonding and ionic bonding (Figure 1).

  9. Molecular mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_mechanics

    A force field is used to minimize the bond stretching energy of this ethane molecule.. Molecular mechanics uses classical mechanics to model molecular systems. The Born–Oppenheimer approximation is assumed valid and the potential energy of all systems is calculated as a function of the nuclear coordinates using force fields.
