The result is a series of neutrally charged octahedral sheets that are held together by relatively weak electrostatic bonds.

Electrostatic bonds consist of a charged group which can attract an oppositely charged group.

But the bonds that hold it in place, electrostatic bonds, are so weak that they can be broken by a single photon of light.

This constant shows its ability to make electrostatic bonds with other molecules, meaning it can eliminate the attraction of the opposite charges of the surrounding ions.

Participating non-covalent interactions may include hydrogen bonds, electrostatic bonds, van der Waals forces and hydrophobic forces.

At the same time, the ionic part of the solution diminishes the electrostatic bonds between the dye and the positively charged amino acids of the protein.

Her knees did not quiver as she sauntered along Tyche's corridor to a locker and took out a three-mil suit and donned it, making fast each electrostatic bond.

For simple solids, the are equal for all cations coordinated to a given anion, so that the anion coordination number is the anion charge divided by each electrostatic bond strength.

For a given cation, Pauling defined 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 that anion.

The subsequent formation of van der Waals, hydrogen and, in the case of a positively charged polymer, electrostatic bonds between the mucins and the hydrated polymer promotes prolonged adhesion.

According to Dr. Koch's calculations, the helium molecule would incorporate a helium atom at one end, linked by a weak bond, called an electrostatic bond, to an atom of the metal beryllium.

AZT crystallizes into an asymmetric nucleated monoclinic salt structure, forming an equalized hydrogen-nitrogen-oxygen bonded network of base-paired dimers; its multiscaled crystallized lattice superstructural surfactant headgroup electrostatic bond polarity was reported in 1988 and 1987.

Linus Pauling's second rule of ionic bonding, the Electrostatic Valence Principle states, "An ionic structure will be stable to the extent that the sum of the strengths of the electrostatic bonds that reach an anion equals the charge on that anion."
