- What is Coulomb's law? Coulombs law is the basic idea of electricity. It looks at forces created between two charged objects. As distance increases the forces of electric fields decrease. When there are two charged particle, an electric tone is created. If there are longer charges the forces will be longer.
- Explain how distance and charge impact the energy to remove an electron. Why do both 'charge' and 'distance' need to be included in your explanation? Distance and charge are inversely related to each other. The closer the electron is to the nucleus (closer distance) the stronger the force. So the closer the electron is the more energy is needed to overcome the force of attraction between electron and proton. The further the electron, there is less energy needed.
- Explain why removing an electron is an endothermic process.and why it isn't an exothermic process. Removing an electron is an endothermic process because energy is absorbed to break the bond between electron and proton.
- How is the amount of energy needed to remove an electron related to how electrons are organized within an atom? The amount of energy needed to remove an electron is related to how electrons are organized within an atom.When the electron jumps to a lower suborbital it emits a photon, emitting light, This absorbs energy which csuses the emission of a photn t make the atom stable.
- How is the amount of energy needed to remove an electron related to, different than, or the same as, the energy to excite an electron? The energy needed to remove one or more electrons from a neutral atom to form a positively charged ion is a physical property that influences the chemical behavior of the atom. By definition, the first ionization energy of an element is the energy needed to remove the outermost, or highest energy, electron from a neutral atom.
