Find the Coulombic force of attraction for Na2O ; The ionic radius for Na+ = 0.102 nm and that for O2- = 0.140 nm. What is the repulsive force?
Added by Timothy B.
Step 1
First, we need to find the distance between the ions. Since we have the ionic radii for Na+ and O2-, we can add them together to find the distance between their centers: Distance (d) = 0.102 nm + 0.140 nm = 0.242 nm Show more…

a) Calculate the coulombic attractive forces between a pair of Na+ and Cl- ions that just touch each other. Assume their ionic radii to be respectively 0.095 nm and 0.181 nm. What is the repulsive force? b) Calculate the net potential energy of this simple ionic pair by using the equation 2.15 in the text and take m = 9 for NaCl.

Calculate the coulombic attractive force between a pair of Na+ and Cl- ions that just touch each other. Assume the ionic radius of the cation to be 0.095 nm and the anion to be 0.181 nm. (Given ε₀ is 8.854 x 10⁻¹²)
