repulsion - use in sentences

Converse of object

  • overcome: The high kinetic energies are needed to overcome the repulsion of the two positive nuclei.
  • have: If all the particles have a mutual repulsion then the dispersion will remain stable.
  • feel: Yet it seems sad to feel such desperate repulsion from one's fellow beings, however degraded.
  • minimize: Finally, you have to use this information to work out the shape: Arrange these electron pairs in space to minimize repulsions.

Adjective modifier

  • electrostatic: The reason for this is the electrostatic repulsion of the protons.
  • mutual: Adjust all pins according to mutual repulsion keeping them on the same ring.
  • electrical: It slows down, losing kinetic energy as its potential energy, of electrical repulsion, increases in compensation.
  • strong: That makes a total of 4 lone pair-bond pair repulsions - compared with 6 of these relatively strong repulsions in the last structure.
  • lone: Because of the two lone pairs there are therefore 6 lone pair-bond pair repulsions.

Modifies a noun

  • energy: Repulsion energies greater than EMAX will then be calculated all over the z-plane.
  • force: The repulsion force being caused by the fact that the copper has more neutrons than the water.

Preposition: between

  • electron: The repulsion between the 3s electrons obviously isn't enough to outweigh this either.
  • charge: This occurs at the surface of the drops and depends in part on repulsion between the charges on the molecules.
  • pair: There is going to be a lot of repulsion between the various lone pairs on all the atoms surrounding the carbon.
  • particle: It has been shown that the repulsion between hydrophobic particles is caused by electric charges at their surface in contact with the oil.

Noun used with modifier

  • electron: You will probably be familiar with working out the shapes of simple compounds using the electron pair repulsion theory.
  • pair: You will probably be familiar with working out the shapes of simple compounds using the electron pair repulsion theory.
  • direction: Our experiments have measured the magnitude of the direction repulsion under various conditions.
  • pair-bond: Because of the two lone pairs there are therefore 6 lone pair-bond pair repulsions.
  • charge: Much of this expanse is due to electric charge repulsion between the negatively charged phosphate groups in the DNA backbone.
