Three cases of neck regions (shaded) formed by atoms (solid circles) at varying separations. Dotted lines represent the surface of the solvent sphere. The leftmost vertex of the dashed triangle in (i) describes the angle A′ referenced in equation 9. Although this figure shows two atoms with the same radius, neck regions may also be formed between atoms with unequal radii.
