Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: When two ions with opposite charge is separated by a distance “d”, the effect of force between the ions when the given changes happens has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Coulomb’s law states about the force between the two charges. In chemistry, Coulomb’s law states that the force exhibited between two charges is directly proportional to the product of two charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between the two charges. In form of equation it can be depicted as,
F∝Q1 × Q2d2
Where Q1 and Q2 are the amount charge on the two ions considered and “d” is the distance between two ions.
To explain: what happens to force when both charges are doubled
(b)
Interpretation: When two ions with opposite charge is separated by a distance “d”, the effect of force between the ions when the given changes happens has to be explained.

Where Q1 and Q2 are the amount charge on the two ions considered and “d” is the distance between two ions.
To explain: what happens to force when positive charge is doubled and negative charge is tripled.
