The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two identical ions that are separated by a distance of 7.8 × 10-10 m is 97.10 × 10-9 N. (a) What is the charge (in Coulombs) of each ion? (b) How many electrons are “missing” from each ion (thus giving the ion its charge imbalance)?

Answer 1

F=k•q1•q2/r²= k•q²/r².
q=sqrt(F• r²/k) = ....
N=q/e=....
