Answer: The initial acceleration of the proton = (4.56 × 10^23) m/s2

The initial acceleration of the electron = (8.36 × 10^26) m/s2

Explanation: The force of attraction between the proton and electron can be computed using the statements of Coulomb's law which state that the force of attraction between two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the square of their distances apart.

F = (Kq1q2)/(r^2) where K = (9 × (10^9) Nm(C^-2))

But q1 is the charge on a proton = (1.6 × (10^-19)) C

q2 is charge on an electron = -(1.6 × (10^-19)) C

r = (5.50 × (10^-10))mm = (5.50 × (10^-13))m

Computing all that, F = 0.0007616529 N = (7.62 × 10^-4) N

But the force of attraction is converted to that required for motion when they're released.

F = ma.

For proton, m = (1.67 × 10^-27) kg

a = F/m = 0.000762/(1.67 × 10^-27) = (4.56 × 10^23) m/s2

For electron, m = (9.11 × 10^-31) kg

a = F/m = 0.000762/(9.11 × 10^-31) = (8.36 × 10^26) m/s2

The distance between the nuclei of two iron atoms is about 4 angstroms.a. Trueb. False
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The correct option is b. false

Explanation:

The distance between the nucleus of an atom and it's outermost shell is called is atomic radius. The atomic radius of an Iron atom (Fe) is 0.126 nm or 1.26 angstrom. The distance between the nuclei of two Iron atoms will be 1.26 × 2 = 2.52 angstroms.

Since 2.52 angstroms is lower than 4 angstroms, the correct option is false

How many total electrons does the P^3- ion have? O a. 3 O b. 31 O c.1 O d. 15 O e. 18
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

e. 18

Explanation:

A neutral P atom has an atomic number of 15, which means there are 15 protons in the atom. In order to be neutral, the P atom must also have 15 electrons.

The P³⁻ anion has 3 electrons more than the neutral P atom since it has a charge of -3.

Thus, the total number of electrons are 15 + 3 = 18 electrons.
