The simple point charge (SPC) model ?UNIQ3c9329b265030360-ref-00000015-QINU? is an empirical model of water. The molecule is modelled as a rigid isosceles triangle, having charges situated on each of the three atoms. As well as Coulombic interactions, the molecules interact via long-range Lennard-Jones sites, situated on the oxygen atoms. The parameters are as follows:

The SPC model has a dipole moment of 2.27 D.
