Question

Why born model is considered to be the basic model for ion solvent interactions?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

=>By considering a charged sphere equivalent to an ion, the Born model is assuming that it is only the charge on the ion (or charged sphere) that is responsible for ion-solvent interactions.

The interactions between the solvent and the ion are considered to be solely electrostatic in origin.

Answer 2

By considering a charged sphere equivalent to an ion, the Born model is assuming that it is only the charge on the ion (or charged sphere) that is responsible for ion-solvent interactions. The interactions between the solvent and the ion are considered to be solely electrostatic in origin.
