The water molecule's dipole moment is 6.17×10-30C⋅m. What would be the separation distance if the molecule consisted of charges ±e? (The effective charge is actually less because H and O atoms share the electrons.) Express answer with appropriate units.
A mole of carbon contains 7.22 x 1024 electrons. Twoelectrically neutral carbon spheres, each containing 1 moleof carbon, are separated by 15.0 cm (center to center).What fraction of electrons would have to be transferredfrom one sphere to the other for the electric force and thegravitational force between the spheres to be equal?
23.57 - An Ionic Crystal. Figure P23.57 Figure P23.57 shows eight point charges arranged at the comers of a cube with sides of length d. The values of the charges are +q and -q, as shown. This is +9 a model of one cell of a cubic ionic crystal. In sodium chloride (NaCI), for instance, the posi- tive ions are Na* and the nega- tive 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.
