Calculate the force of attraction between a K+ and an O2- ion the centers of which are separated by a distance of 1.5 nm. My understanding is that in ionic bonds all atoms acquire stable configuration. Here potassium gives oxygen one electron. But oxygen needs two electrons to be stable. Hence it will not be stable.
