13. If we include in the curve of effective molecular action 
the external electric attraction which we have seen may arise 
within the sphere of what has been called the effective external 
repulsion, it will be seen that the curve beyond Oc should be 
raised ; and that when an effective death ie supervenes, and 
determines a chemical union, it will pass entirely above the zero 
line, from ¢ to a certain distance beyond Od. But instead of 
this the result may be that it passes above the zero line for a 
certain distance, ene at a point, #9 a’ , beyond c, or even
