module 3 section 3.2
coulombs law
coulombs law states that the electrostatic force of attraction between 2 opposite charges is directly proportional to the magnitudes of charges (more positive/negative charge means more attraction) and inversely proportional to the distance apart. (more distance means less attraction)
coulombic attraction is the attraction between _ charged particles, like _ and _
in atoms we are usually talking about how much attractive force there is between _ in an atom _ which may have 1 p+ or many p+
2 factors to consider to help you visualize how coulombs law works:
- _: how many p+ are in there?
- _: how far are the electrons from the nucleus
Coulombic attraction is between opposite - charged particles. In atoms, it's between protons (positive) and electrons (negative). The two factors for Coulomb's Law in atoms are nuclear charge (number of protons) and distance of electrons from the nucleus.
