Which of the following would have an electrostatic force of attraction between them? a. na+ and rb+ b. cl- and o2- c. cs+ and n3- d. k+ and xe i think it's c

Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Electrostatic force of attraction is defined as the force which exists between the species that are electrically charged that is, species that contain a positive or negative charge.

Whereas when two species have similar charge then they tend to oppose or repel each other. This is because opposite charges repel each other.

And, opposite charges attract each other. Hence, strong electrostatic force of attraction exists between them.

For example, and species have opposite charges and when both of them come in contact with each other then strong electrostatic force of attraction exists between them.

Thus, we can conclude that and would have an electrostatic force of attraction between them.

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
