2.2 Study Guide

Question 1

Which charges attracts?

Answer 1

Opposite charges

Question 2

Which charges repel?

Answer 2

Same charges

Question 3

What is the relationship between coulombic attraction and the amount of charge?

Answer 3

(Force and Charge have a direct relationship)
When charges are opposite, the coulombic attration is stronger, and their is a greater pull towards the atoms.
When the charges are the same, the attraction repels away from eacchother. The force is going away from the two atoms.

Question 4

What is the relationship between coulombic attraction and distance?

Answer 4

(Force and Distance have an inverse relationship)
When the atoms are closer to each other, their attraction is very strong.
When their distance is further, the attraction weakens.

Question 5

Atom with higher electronegativity

Answer 5

fluorine because it is closer to the ideal electron configuration.

Question 6

Atom with Stronger attraction for valence electrons

Answer 6

Hydrogen because the valence shell is only one level, so the electrons are very close to the nucleus making the attraction very strong

Question 7

Atom with Weaker attraction for valence electrons

Answer 7

Iron because the valence shell is multiple levels away from the nucleus, it is further out, so the valence electrons are further away from to the nucleus making the attraction weaker.
