These equations together with the data (parameters) required to describe the
behavior of different kinds of atoms and bonds, is called a force-field. Many
different kinds of force-fields have been developed over the years. Some include
additional energy terms that describe other kinds of deformations. Some force-fields
account for coupling between bending and stretching in adjacent bonds in order
to improve the accuracy of the mechanical model.
