The figure shows eight point charges arranged at the corners of a cube with sides of length d. The values of the charges are +q and −q, as shown. This is a model of one cell of a cubic ionic crystal. In sodium chloride (NaCI), for instance, the positive ions are Na+ and the negative ions are CI−. (a) Calculate the potential energy U of this arrangement. (Take as zero the potential energy of the eight charges when they are infinitely far apart.) (b) In part (a), you should have found that U < 0. Explain the relationship between this result and the observation that such ionic crystals exist in nature.
(HINT: This is a configuration energy problem. However, it is lengthy to solve.)
A positive unit charge is at a distance of 200 pm from a molecule of hydrochloric acid. Find the corresponding potential energy in kJ / mol and the maximum force.
