This is straight Coulomb's law>
F=k q1q2/r^2
if q1=q2
q^2=F*r^2/k solve for q. change angstroms to meters
b. Divide q by the charge on one electron to get number of electrons.
The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two identical ions that are separated by a distance of 5.0A is 3.7×10^-9N.
a) what is the charge of each ion?
b) how many electrons are missing from each ion( thus giving the ion its charge imbalance)?
