Chapter 8, Problem 8.92(choose chapter or problem)
A fundamental relationship of electrostatics states that the energy required to separate opposite charges of magnitudes Q1 and Q2 that are a distance d apart is proportional to Q1 3 Q2 d . Use this relationship and any other factors to explain the following: (a) The IE2 of He (Z 5 2) is more than twice the IE1 of H (Z 5 1). (b) The IE1 of He is less than twice the IE1 of H.
