Electron Pairing, Repulsion, and Correlation: A Simplistic Approach
Olsson, Lars-Fride; Kloo, Lars
Journal of Chemical Education, v81 n1 p138 Jan 2004
The interplay between a nucleus and an electron pair is explained through a basic application of an electrostatic and balanced model to determine the correlated and repulsive movements of the electron pair. The stable correlation depends on the positive charge produced by the combined force, which in turn establishes a negative potential energy.
