Electrostatic force between charged particles

Electrostatic attraction (Section 1 2) Force of attraction be tween oppositely charged particles Electrostatic potential (Section 1 10) The energy of interac tion between a point positive charge and the charge field of a molecule... 

When two charged colloidal particles approach each other, their electrical double layers overlap so that the concentration of counterions in the region between the particles increases, resulting in electrostatic forces between them (Fig. 8.2). There are two methods for calculating the potential energy of the double-layer interaction between two charged colloidal particles [1,2] In the first method, one directly calculates the interaction force P from the excess osmotic pressure tensor All and... 

Apart from polymer adsorption for uncharged macromolecules, charged macromolecules (polyelectrolytes), such as proteins can also adsorb at surfaces [20, 21]. Adsorption of a charged macromolecule is different from adsorption of an uncharged polymer in that there is a high dependency on the salt concentration. At a low salt concentration, repulsive electrostatic forces between charged polymer chains will inhibit formation of loops and tails (Fig. 4). This has been predicted and confirmed, for instance for adsorption of humic acids on iron-oxide particles [22]. 

Figure 24.6 The electrostatic force, represented by the purple arrows, acts between two charged particles. It is repulsive between two protons. The strong nuclear force, represented by the green arrows, acts between any two or more nucleons and Is always attractive.

In order to explain this effect it was assumed that micelles can be formed by fusion of two smaller aggregates and can disappear by fission into two small particles [116]. The aggregates formed by ionic surfactants are charged particles. At low concentrations they are stable in relation to coagulation because of repulsive electrostatic forces. When the concentration of counterions increases, the electric double layer around the aggregates shrinks, the repulsive electrostatic forces between the aggregates decrease, and the reversible fusion and fission processes can proceed... 

Electrostatic forces between particles with equal charges help to ensure a uniform distribution of particles. The ability of the system to maintain a uniform distribution of particles in the liquid over a long time characterizes the system s... 

Ion-molecule complexes are formed mainly due to one of the following three interactions (1) ion-dipole, (2) ion-induced dipole, and (3) ion- r interactions. According to Coulomb s law, the electrostatic force between two charged particles is defined as / =, where and 2 re the charges of the particles and the r is... 

Compounds are composed of atoms held together by chemical bonds. Chemical bonds result from the attractions between the charged particles (the electrons and protons) that compose atoms. We discuss these interactions more thoroughly in Chapter 9 (see Section 9.2). For now, remember that, as we discussed in Section 2.4, charged particles exert forces on one another like charges repel and opposite charges attract. These electrostatic forces are responsible for chemical bonding. 

One of the simplest models one can use to determine the electrostatic force between two particles i and j containing charges qi and qj separated by a distance of Vij is Coulomb s law ...
