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

What factors affect Coulombic Attraction?

Back

The two main factors that affect Coulombic Attraction are the distance between charged particles and the amount of charge (number of protons).

Front

How does distance affect Coulombic Attraction?

Back

As the distance between charged particles increases, the Coulombic Attraction decreases.

Front

Which has a stronger Coulombic Attraction: a particle with more protons or one with fewer protons?

Back

A particle with more protons has a stronger Coulombic Attraction due to a greater positive charge.

Front

What is the relationship between the number of protons and Coulombic Attraction?

Back

The greater the number of protons in the nucleus, the stronger the Coulombic Attraction to the surrounding electrons.

Front

Which element has the strongest Coulombic attraction among O, S, Se, and Te?

Back

O (Oxygen) has the strongest Coulombic attraction among these elements.

Front

What is the correct ranking of elements from weakest to strongest Coulombic attractive force: Fr, Rf, W, Ag, O, F?

Back

The correct ranking is Fr, Rf, W, Ag, O, F.

Front

What type of charged particles attract each other?

Back

Oppositely charged particles attract each other.

Front

What is the effect of increasing the distance on Coulombic Attraction?

Back

Increasing the distance decreases the strength of Coulombic Attraction.

Front

What is the charge of protons?

Back

Protons have a positive charge.
