A simplification of this law for an ion that is brought from infinity and placed within a crystal lattice is seen in the portion of the Born-Lande equation that incorporates Madelung constants. Electron pairing energy is given by the exchange energy and the repulsion between spin-paired (*) electrons that this law predicts. It contains a namesake constant that incorporates the permittivity of space, and it can be used to explain why like charges

Electron pairing energy is given by the exchange energy and the repulsion between spin-paired (*) electrons that this law predicts. It contains a namesake constant that incorporates the permittivity of space, and it can be used to explain why like charges repel. For 10 points, name this law in which the force and distance between two point charges share an inverse square relationship.
