Attraction forces, electrostatic

There are attractive forces existing between all pairs of atoms, even between rare gas atoms (He, Ar, Ne, Kr, Xe), which cause them to condense at a sufficiently low temperature. None of the other attractive forces (electrostatic, polarization, charge transfer) can explain the attraction between rare gas atoms it is called the dispersion attraction (12). Even though the rare gas atoms have no permanent dipole moments, they are polarizable, and one has instantaneous dipole-dipole attractions in which the presence of a locally asymmetric charge distribution on one molecule induces an asymmetric charge distribution on the other molecule, e.g., -He +. .. -He +. [Pg.174]

Interparticle forces include the van der Waals attractive forces, electrostatic r ul-sive forces arising firom surface chaiges on the particles, and entropic repulsive forces due to water-soluble polymera adsoibed/anchored to the particle surface and/or due to adsorbed surfactants. These interparticle forces become important as the interparticle distance, h, becomes smaller, and are significant factors at h < 10 nm. Both smaller particle diameter, d, and higher volume fracfion, < >, lead to decreasing values of h, as shown in Equation (13.8). As already seen in Section 13.2.4, the thickness of adsorbed surfactant layers can be an appreciable fraction of the interparticle distance. Adsorbed polymer layers can be of the order of 10 nm in thickness, and in systons with low ionic strength, electrical charge effects can extend much further. [Pg.645]

There are tliree important varieties of long-range forces electrostatic, induction and dispersion. Electrostatic forces are due to classical Coulombic interactions between the static charge distributions of the two molecules. They are strictly pairwise additive, highly anisotropic, and can be either repulsive or attractive. [Pg.185]

Were we to simply add the ionization energy of sodium (496 kJ/mol) and the electron affin ity of chlorine (—349 kJ/mol) we would conclude that the overall process is endothermic with AH° = +147 kJ/mol The energy liberated by adding an electron to chlorine is msuf ficient to override the energy required to remove an electron from sodium This analysis however fails to consider the force of attraction between the oppositely charged ions Na" and Cl which exceeds 500 kJ/mol and is more than sufficient to make the overall process exothermic Attractive forces between oppositely charged particles are termed electrostatic, or coulombic, attractions and are what we mean by an ionic bond between two atoms... [Pg.12]

EIectrosta.tlcs. Electrostatic interactions, such as salt bridges, result from the electrostatic attraction that occurs between oppositely charged molecules. These usually involve a single cation, eg, the side chain of Lys or Arg, or the amino terminus, etc, interacting with a single anion, eg, the side chain of Glu or Asp, or the carboxyl terminus, etc. This attractive force is iaversely proportional to the distance between the charges and the dielectric constant of the solvent, as described by Coulomb s law. [Pg.196]

DLVO Theory. The overall stabiUty of a particle dispersion depends on the sum of the attractive and repulsive forces as a function of the distance separating the particles. DLVO theory, named for Derjaguin and Landau (11) and Verwey and Overbeek (12), encompasses van der Waals attraction and electrostatic repulsion between particles, but does not consider steric stabilization. The net energy, AGp between two particles at a given distance is the sum of the repulsive and attractive forces ... [Pg.148]

The electrostatic repulsive forces are a function of particle kinetic energy (/ T), ionic strength, zeta potential, and separation distance. The van der Waals attractive forces are a function of the Hamaker constant and separation distance. [Pg.148]

Gady found that, depending on the charge of the particle, van der Waals forces dominated over the forces associated with electrostatically charged patches when the particle-to-substrate separation was between 3 and 10 nm, depending on the particle charge. In addition, he found that the distance at which the snap-together occurred required that van der Waals forces dominate over electrostatic. In all his measurements, however, a component of the total attractive force, even at close separations, was observed to be electrostatic in nature. [Pg.177]

In a solution of a solute in a solvent there can exist noncovalent intermolecular interactions of solvent-solvent, solvent-solute, and solute—solute pairs. The noncovalent attractive forces are of three types, namely, electrostatic, induction, and dispersion forces. We speak of forces, but physical theories make use of intermolecular energies. Let V(r) be the potential energy of interaction of two particles and F(r) be the force of interaction, where r is the interparticle distance of separation. Then these quantities are related by... [Pg.391]

If we now transfer our two interacting particles from the vacuum (whose dielectric constant is unity by definition) to a hypothetical continuous isotropic medium of dielectric constant e > 1, the electrostatic attractive forces will be attenuated because of the medium s capability of separating charge. Quantitative theories of this effect tend to be approximate, in part because the medium is not a structureless continuum and also because the bulk dielectric constant may be an inappropriate measure on the molecular scale. Eurther discussion of the influence of dielectric constant is given in Section 8.3. [Pg.393]

It can be seen from the figure that the electrostatic repulsive forces between the macrocations are overwhelmed, probably by hydrophobic attractive forces between their hydrophobic side groups. It should be noted that the complimentary base-base pairing is unimportant in the present case. If this is not the case, the mixtures of APVP and TPVP should show the largest hypochromicity. This, however, is not the case. The importance of the hydrophobic interactions between nucleic acid bases has been proposed by Ts o et al.I9 from thermodynamic parameters of various nucleic acid bases or nucleosides in aqueous media. [Pg.140]

The important action of electrostatic forces between a cationic model and an anionic polynucleotide is clearly shown in Fig. 7. The hypochromicity sharply decreased with the ionic strength of the solution, which indicates that the base-base interactions between A12 and Poly U supported by the electrostatic attractive forces are weakened by the shielding effects of added salts. [Pg.148]
