How does the polar character of water molecules help to explain waters relatively large dielectric constant? (Figure 19.19) Figure 19,19 Artist's conception of a water molecule. There is an inherent separation of charge, and so water is a polar molecule. Electrons in the molecule are attracted to the oxygen nucleus and leave an excess of positive charge near the two hydrogen nuclai. (Note that the schematic on the right is a rough illustration of the distribution of electrons in the water molecule. It does not show the actual numbers of protons and elections involved in the structure.)
To form a helium atom, an alpha particle that contains two protons and two neutrons is fixed at one location, and two electrons are brought in from far away, one at a time. The first electron is placed at 0.6001010 m from the alpha particle and held there while the second electron is brought to 0.6001010 m from the alpha particle on the other side from the first electron. See die final configuration below, (a) How much work is done in each step? (b) What is the electrostatic energy of die alpha particle and two electrons in the final configuration?

In different experimental trials, an electron, a proton, or a doubly charged oxygen atom (O--), is fired within a vacuum tube. The particle's trajectory carries it through a point where the electric potential is 40.0 V and then through a point at a different potential. Rank each of the following cases according to the change in kinetic energy of the particle over this part of its flight from the largest increase to the largest decrease in kinetic energy. In your ranking, display any cases of equality, (a) An electron moves from 40.0 V to 60.0 V. (b) An electron moves front 40.0 V to 20.0 V. (c) A proton moves from 40.0 V to 20.0 V'.
