Chemistry has many examples of the exothermic formation of dipoles. For example if metallic iron is reacted with molecular oxygen the reaction is exothermic and create three dipoles. The iron becomes a cation indicating more protons than electrons, the oxygen becomes an anion indicating more electrons than protons and the two neutral starting materials become an ionic dipole of iron oxide.

We have a chemistry forum.

 

Also, what is the point of this thread?

Sometimes chemistry can create anomalies for physics. I thought this would be an interesting example. The answer to the mystery has to do with the EM force. It is both magnetic and electro-static. The electrostatic potentials have increased to form the three dipoles, because the magnetic force or force addition of the electrons has lowered potential even more, making the whole process exothermic.
