Question

4.6 shapes of atomic orbitals
as the positive charge of the nucleus increases, what happens to the electrical force exerted by the nucleus on the negatively charged electrons?
○ increases then quickly decreases
○ decreases
○ increases
○ stays the same

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the electrical force between two charged - particles is directly proportional to the product of their charges. The nucleus is positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. As the positive charge of the nucleus increases, the electrical force of attraction between the nucleus and the negatively - charged electrons increases.

Answer:

Increases
