Question

1.) The sodium (Na) and Chlorine (CI) in a salt molecule are separated by the (fixed) distance lo = 5.6 × ×10-10m. The charges on the sodium and chlorine ions are QNa +1e and Qci-1e. We consider a system of two salt ions: molecule #1 is along the --axis and molecule 2 is placed along the +y-axis, as shown. The distance between sodium ions is D 6.6 x 10-10m. Cl molecule 2 lo Na Cl a) Find the z- and y- components of the force on the sodium ion of molecule 1 due to charges on molecule 2. Na molecule1

Explanation / Answer

Since questions are totally based on the Columbus force.As total charge on molecule1 and molecule2 are neutral because charge on Na+ ion is cancelled by charge on Cl- ion ,so Nacl molecules are neutral..so there will be no force between these two molecules.There will no any types of attractive or repulsive force between two molecules of Nacl.
