The potential energy component corresponding to the electrostatic interaction between each pair of charged particles:
where
is the
permittivity of a vacuum,
is the distance between the two particles, and
and
are the charges on particles
and
. In
molecular orbital theory, the electrostatic repulsion between the two electrons occupying the orbitals
and
. In the
Hartree–Fock method, the mean
Coulomb repulsion is determined by the value of the
Coulomb integral
