Question

2) In water, hydrogen bonding occurs between adjacent water molecules and leads to a large network of intermolecular hydrogen-oxygen bonding interactions. The strength of one of these interactions can be simplified to a hydrogen nucleus being attracted to the two lone pair of electrons on the oxygen atom on a neighboring water molecule. Determine the magnitude of the electrostatic interaction between a proton and 4 closely contained electrons if the separation distance is estimated to be 197 pm.

Explanation / Answer

K*e*4e/(197 E-12)^2=2.37 E-8 N
