Question
The next 5 questions all have to do with the diagram shown, on which I have placed an electron at the origin. The grid spacing is 1 Angstrom per small square. Now place an atomic nucleus with 20 protons on positive x-axis, at x = 6.4 Angstroms. How much work did it take you to bring this nucleus in from 1 m away?

36.0 eV
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given values - 

Grid spacing = 1 Angstrom per small square

Number of protons = 20 

Position of protons on positive x-axis = 6.4 Angstroms

If we compare the position of 20 protons from origin, the 1 m can be considered as infinity.

Therefore, 

The work done to bring the nucleus from infinity to the position x=6.4 Angstroms is -
