The particles in the nucleus of an atom are approximately 1.00×10-15 m apart, while the electrons in an atom are about 1.00×10-10 m from the nucleus.
a) Calculate the electrical repulsion between two protons in a nucleus if they are 1.35×10-15 m apart
b) How many pounds would the force be?
d) Calculate the electrical attraction that a proton in a nucleus exerts on an orbiting electron if the two particles are 1.39×10-10 m apart.
