∙ 10y ago
F = (kq1q2)/(r2)
k = 8.99*109 Nm2/C2
q1 and q2 are both = 1.602*10-19 C
r = 52.9*10-12 m
The magnitude = 8.23*10-8 N

What is the difference between a proton and a hydrogen ion?
an electron
Do protons have the same magnitude as electrons?
Yes. A proton has the same magnitude of charge as an electron, but the charge is of the opposite sign.
How many times lighter is an electron than a proton?
The mass of an electron is approximately 1⁄1836 of a proton. Thus as hydrogen is made of one proton and one electron, hydrogen is 1837 times heavier than an electron.
The ion that is a single proton?
H-1. Hydrogen has only one proton and electron; if this electron is removed a hydrogen ion is formed - effectively a proton.
How many electrons are in a positively charged hydrogen atom?
None. A hydrogen atom has one proton and one electron (no neutron). Removing the electron leads to just a proton, no electrons.
What is the difference between a proton and a hydrogen ion?
an electron
Do protons have the same magnitude as electrons?
Yes. A proton has the same magnitude of charge as an electron, but the charge is of the opposite sign.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in hydrogen?
Hydrogen - 1 proton, 1 electron Deuterium - 1 proton, 1 neutron 1 electron Tritium - 1 proton, 2 neutrons, 1 electron
Which has a bigger mass proton or electron?
A proton. A proton has a mass of 1 a.m.u. while an electron has a mass of 1/1840 a.m.u.
How many times lighter is an electron than a proton?
The mass of an electron is approximately 1⁄1836 of a proton. Thus as hydrogen is made of one proton and one electron, hydrogen is 1837 times heavier than an electron.
Why is the H ion referred to as a proton?
Most hydrogen ions are simply protons. They have no neutron associated with them, and because they are ions, there is no electron. If the hydrogen is known to have no neutron, it is called protium. For practical proposes, there is no distinction between a protium ion and a proton that is not part of a nucleus. Some hydrogen ions are not simply protons, however, and have an associated neutron. In this form, the hydrogen is referred to as deuterium. When hydrogen has two neutrons, it is called tritium, and is radioactive.
Are the charges of an electron cancelled by the charges of a proton?
Yes. The magnitude of electrical charge on a proton is the same as the magnitude of electrical charge on an electron. The charge on a proton is positive and the charge on an electron is neutral, so that a pair containing one of each of them has no net electrical charge.
What is the electric charge does proton have in electron?
A proton has a positive charge which is equal in magnitude but opposite to the charge on an electron, which is negative.
What are the positively charged subatomic particles that remain when a hydrogen atom loses an electron?
Hydrogen is composed of 1 proton and 1 electron. If it loses its electron, it still has 1 proton left, which is a positive charge.
How is a hydrogen atom is different than a proton?
A hydrogen atom, H, is a proton (as nucleus) with one electron orbitting around it. A proton is just (the same as above) one proton, which lacks the electron: H+ .
Is it possible for an atom to have no neutrons?
A hydrogen atom is only a proton and an electron. Beyond that the neutron seems to keep the nucleus together and stable. Maybe a better question is, "What is the difference between a hydrogen atom without an electron and a proton?"
The ion that is a single proton?
H-1. Hydrogen has only one proton and electron; if this electron is removed a hydrogen ion is formed - effectively a proton.
