The acceleration of an electron due to the mutual attraction between the electron and a proton when they are 1.6 Å apart is,
me9×10-31 kg, e=1.6×10-19 C (Take 14πε0=9×109 N m2 C-2)
  1. 1024 m s-2
  2. 1023 m s-2
  3. 1022 m s-2
  4. 1025 m s-2

Solution

Recall the formula of electrostatic force interns of charge on electron and septation between them, F=Ke2r2, now use Newton's second law, ma=Ke2r2

a=Ke2mr2

so,  the acceleration, a=9×1091.6×10-1921.6×10-1029×10-31

a=10-29×1051=1022 m s-2
