Without them, all wooden structures would collapse, cement would crumble, oceans would vaporize. For a ham 10 kbtroom, l 10 nm 70 interatomic distance, the forces are balanced if cubically approximated fly has volume 8 cm 3. Because of fixed distortion in the distribution of electric charge in the very structure of some molecules, one side of a molecule is always somewhat positive and the opposite side somewhat negative. Parsegian is the worlds expert on this subject, which is essential for an understanding of physical biology and much of chemistry, engineering, and physics. Scientists from forschungszentrum julich, germany, experimentally determined for the first time all of the key details.
Molecules inherently possess energy and their electrons are always in motion, so transient concentrations of electrons in one region or another lead electrically positive regions of a molecule to be attracted to the electrons of another molecule. Similar biological designs can be observed in some spiders. First, the molecules of some materials, although electrically neutral, may be permanent electric dipoles. Feb 05, 2015 descriptions of these forces can be found in several papers and books 58. They show up in almost all fields of science, including physics, chemistry, biology, medicine.
