Respuesta :

excess charge on each ion is equivalent to the charge of two electrons

now we have

[tex]q = 2e = 3.2 * 10^{-19}C[/tex]

now the electrostatic force between them is given by

[tex]F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}[/tex]

[tex]F = \frac{9*10^9 * 3.2* 10^{-19}* 3.2 * 10^{-19}}{1.25 * 10^{-9}^2}[/tex]

so from above the force between them is

[tex]F = 5.89 * 10^{-10} N[/tex]
