Doric order proportions. It is suggested that these proportions give the Doric columns a masculine appearance, whereas the more slender Ionic columns appear to represent a more feminine look. This sense of masculinity and femininity was often used to determine which type of column would be used for a particular structure. The most influential, and perhaps the earliest, use of the Doric in Renaissance architecture was in the circular "Tempietto" by Donato Bramante (1502 or later), in the courtyard of San Pietro in Montorio, Rome. Before Greek Revival architecture grew, initially in England, in the 18th century, the Greek or elaborated Roman
Ionic compound by a specific equilibrium distance. If the electronic structure of the two interacting bodies is affected by the presence of one another, covalent interactions (non-ionic) also contribute to the overall energy of the compound formed. Ionic compounds are rarely purely ionic, i.e. held together only by electrostatic forces. The bonds between even the most electronegative/electropositive pairs such as those in caesium fluoride exhibit a small degree of covalency. Conversely, covalent bonds between unlike atoms often exhibit some charge separation and can be considered to have a partial ionic character. The circumstances under which a compound will have ionic or covalent
