If you have two electron spins, at the same distance from one another,
-
their energy is what?
-
One, two, three, four, five orders of magnitude smaller,
-
10^5th smaller.
-
The "strong" binding that holds
-
a proton and a neutron together is in the deuterium nucleus,
-
that is within the nucleus,
-
not at 1.54 Angstroms,
-
is 10^5th stronger than Coulombic interaction.
-
And gravity is ever so much weaker.
-
If you had two carbon atoms, that were at that distance,
-
the energy would be 10^(-32) kilocalories/mol.
