A Simple Model of Ionic Solvation—The Born Equation 

One interesting implication of the Born equation concerns long range solvation of an ion by a solvent with a dipole such as water. We can concede that very close to an ionic solute— within the first two or even three solvation shells—such a simple model might be inadequate because it neglects specific effects. But what about further out It is probably quite
