Two positive ions, each carrying a charge q, are separated by a distance d
If F is the force of repulsion between the ions, the number of electrons missing from each ion will be (e being the charge on an electron)

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
According to Coulomb’s law, the force of repulsion between the two positive ions each of charge q, separated by a distance d is given by 

(i) Since, 
where, n = number of electrons missing from each ion, e = magnitude of charge on electron
