  1. Answer:

    2

    Given, the force of repulsion between two equally positively charged ions =3.7×10

    −19

    N

    Distance of separation, d=5Å =5×10

    10

    m

    To find the number of electrons missing from each ion.

    Let us suppose charge is q

    1

    =q

    2

    =q

    Let n be the number of electrons missing.

    Using Coulomb’s Law, F=

    4πε

    0

    1

    d

    q

    F=

    So, q

    =4πε

    −9

    ×(5×10

    −10

    )

    2

    =10.28×10

    −38

    q=3.2×10

    −19

    C

    As, q=ne

    So, n=

    e

    q

    =

    1.6×10

    −19

    3.2×10

    −19

    n=2
