Coulombic Attraction Practice

Front

What is Coulombic Attraction?

Back

Coulombic Attraction is the force of attraction between positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons in an atom.

Front

Which particles in an atom are involved in Coulombic Attraction?

Back

Protons and electrons are the particles involved in Coulombic Attraction.

Front

What happens to Coulombic Attraction as distance increases?

Back

As the distance between protons and electrons increases, the force of attraction decreases.

Front

What are the two main variables that affect Coulombic Attraction?

Back

Distance and number of protons.

Front

What is the charge of a proton?

Back

A proton has a positive charge.

Front

What is the charge of an electron?

Back

An electron has a negative charge.

Front

How does the number of protons affect Coulombic Attraction?

Back

An increase in the number of protons increases the Coulombic Attraction, as there are more positive charges attracting the electrons.

Front

What is the significance of the 5f orbital in electron configuration?

Back

The 5f orbital can hold up to 14 electrons and is involved in the electron configuration of actinides.
