Editing Combining rules

The '''combining rules'''  are geometric expressions designed to provide the interaction energy between two dissimilar non-bonded atoms (here labelled <math>i</math> and <math>j</math>). Most of the rules are designed to be used with a specific [[Idealised models| interaction potential]] in mind. (''See also'' [[Mixing rules]]).
