Competency #8
Explain the differences and interconnections between electricity and magnetism
Learning Objective e
- e. Explain Coulomb's Law
Question
Write down your answer to the following question:
In chemistry, the strength of ionic bonds is determined by the strength of the columbic attraction between the positive and negative ions. Use Coulomb's law to predict which of the following ionic compounds would have the strongest bond.
- NaCl (Na+1, Cl-1)
- CaS (Ca+2, S-2)
- AlN (Al+3, N-3)
- All would have the same bond strength
