Question

Transcribed Image Text:Energy of Interaction of Point Charges
Coulomb's Law yields an expression for the energy of interaction for a pair of point charges.
V =
V is the energy (in J) required to bring the two charges from infinite distance separation to distance r (in nm).
Q1 and Q₂ are the charges in terms of electrons.
(i.e. the constant in the above expression is 2.31x10-19 J nm electrons-2)
d
For a group of "point" charges (e.g. ions) the total energy of interaction is the sum of the interaction energies for the individual pairs.
Calculate the energy of interaction for the square arrangement of ions shown in the diagram below.

The electron configuration of indium is [Kr]5s²4d¹⁰5p¹. 4 + How many electrons does a neutral atom of indium have? How does this element complete its octet? Indium forms compounds with chlorine; one example is the formation of InCl (indium (I) chloride). What electron do you think indium gave up? Why?arrow_forwardCompared to their neutral atom counterparts, ions will have smaller or larger atomic radii due to their losing or gaining electrons. According to Jensen (2010), Linus Pauling assigned the radius of the oxygen anion (O“) at 140 pm (larger than the neutral atom, 66 pm). On the other hand, the magnesium atom loses 95 ppm from its 160 ppm radius when it loses two valence electrons, forming the magnesium ion. What is the attractive force in nanoNewtons between the magnesium and oxygen ions? Use 2 decimal places. What is the repulsive force in nanoNewtons between the magnesium and oxygen ions?
