The simple point charge empirical model (SPC) of water. The molecule is modelled as a rigid isosceles triangle, with charge sites at each of the three atoms. Apart from Coulomb interactions, the molecules interact via long-range Lennard-Jones sites only at Oxygen atoms. The parameters are as follows:

parameter value
kJ mol-1
(charge neutrality)
(charge sits on Oxygen)
