which relationship exists between the coloumb energy and binding energy

Practically all of what keeps things like an oxygen molecule, O₂, together is Coulombic interaction. However, the binding energy is the difference between the energy of the O₂ molecule and two O atoms at infinite separation, and does not contain the part that keeps the 8 electrons bound to each separate atom.
