(b)
Answer to Problem 33GP
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
The separation distance between ions is about
Formula used:
Binding energy
Where,
Calculation:
The potential energy for the point charges is binding energy:
Therefore, potential energy of ions is negative,
A release of energy means that energy must be provided to return the ions to the state of free atoms.
So, the sum of binding energy of the KF ions:
Binding energy
