- Figure 18.43 shows the charge distribution in a water molecule, which is called a polar molecule because it has an inherent separation of charge. Given water's polar character, explain what effect humidity has on removing excess charge from objects. Figure 18.43 Schematic representation of the outer electron cloud of a neutral water molecule. The electrons spend more time near the oxygen than the hydrogens, giving a permanent charge separation as shown. Water is thus a polar molecule. It is more easily affected by electrostatic forces than molecules with uniform charge distributions.arrow_forwardThe liquid-drop model of the atomic nucleus suggests high-energy oscillations of certain nuclei can split the nucleus into two unequal fragments plus a few neutrons. The fission products acquire kinetic energy from their mutual Coulomb repulsion. Assume the charge is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of each spherical fragment and. immediately before separating each fragment is at rest and their surfaces are in contact. The electrons surrounding the nucleus can be ignored. Calculate the electric potential energy (in electron volts) of two spherical fragments from a uranium nucleus having the following charges and radii: 38e and 5.50 10-15 m. and 54e and 6.20 10-15 m.arrow_forwardUsing Figure 18.43, explain, in terms of Coulomb's law, why a polar molecule (such as in Figure 18.43) is attracted by both positive and negative charges Figure 18.43 Schematic representation of the outer electron cloud of a neutral water molecule.

Assume that the two particles are bound by the Coulomb force and are an average of 1.00E-8 m apart. (The charge of electron is 1.602E-19 Coulombs, and Colulomb constant, k=8.98E+19 kg-m^3-s^-2-C^-2)arrow_forwardMaterials with valence electrons fewer than four electrons are generally conductors. Why is it? a. (The answer cannot be found on the other choices.) b. For materials with fewer than three valence electrons, less or insignificant electric field is produced in the conductor. This is the reason why the electric field inside a conductor is zero. c. Originally, these materials have eight valence electrons. Greater than four of these valence electrons became free electrons and fewer than four valence electrons remained. This is why conductors have more free electrons at room temperature. d. Valence electrons in these materials need less energy gap is needed to be overcame to dislodge them from their parent atoms to become free electrons. Hence, conductors have overlapping conduction and valence bands.arrow_forward
