Cross section of interaction in model of hard spheres¶
The model used in this law assumes atoms to be hard spheres, in which case the cross section of the interaction between the atoms is proportional to the square of the distance of greatest convergence between the atoms.
Conditions:
All atoms are spheres of equal radius.
