Coulombic Attraction Practice

Front

What is Coulombic Attraction?

Back

Coulombic Attraction is the force of attraction between oppositely charged particles, such as protons and electrons.

Front

Which element has the strongest Coulombic attraction among O, F, N, and C?

Back

F (Fluorine) has the strongest Coulombic attraction due to its high electronegativity.

Front

Which element has the weakest Coulombic attraction among Fe, Mn, Zn, and Sc?

Back

Sc (Scandium) has the weakest Coulombic attraction among these elements.

Front

What is the relationship between protons and electrons in terms of Coulombic Attraction?

Back

Protons and electrons experience Coulombic Attraction, which helps to hold the atom together.

Front

Coulombic Attraction occurs between which types of charged particles?

Back

Coulombic Attraction occurs between oppositely charged particles.

Front

What is the significance of electronegativity in relation to Coulombic Attraction?

Back

Electronegativity measures an atom's ability to attract electrons; higher electronegativity indicates stronger Coulombic Attraction.

Front

How does distance affect Coulombic Attraction?

Back

Coulombic Attraction decreases as the distance between charged particles increases.

Front

What role do protons play in Coulombic Attraction?

Back

Protons, being positively charged, attract negatively charged electrons, contributing to the stability of atoms.

Front

What is the effect of increasing the number of protons in an atom on Coulombic Attraction?

Back

Increasing the number of protons enhances Coulombic Attraction, as there are more positive charges to attract electrons.

Front

Can Coulombic Attraction occur between two positively charged particles?

Back

No, Coulombic Attraction cannot occur between two positively charged particles; they repel each other.
