For atoms, there are many functions modeling this, including the ZBL Universal and Lennard-Jones varieties.
For atoms, there are many functions modeling this, including the ZBL Universal and Lennard-Jones varieties. Conservative force fields can be considered as the negative gradient of this, and it is, in general, proportional to a generalized charge, which may be dipole moment for the electrostatic dipole variety, or mass for the gravitational variety. For ten points, name this type of energy, generally symbolized U and equal, in the case of a particle of mass m at height h in a uniform gravitational field g, to mgh.
