5.3 Electrostatic Surfaces

Electrostatic Surfaces (Module 5: The Explorer). Key concept: Charge complementarity & binding orientation. Read an electrostatic potential map using the red–white–blue convention.

• Read an electrostatic potential map using the red–white–blue convention
• Explain why binding needs charge complementarity across the interface
• Explain how long-range electrostatics steer a molecule into its orientation before contact
• Apply charge analysis to a design decision
