Spherical distribution of negative charge with two protons

In summary, the conversation discusses the placement of two protons within a sphere of negative charge, where the negative charge remains uniform. They must be located on the surface of a concentric sphere within the main sphere, and the enclosed charge can be calculated using dq = o dV, where o is sigma. The force on each proton can then be found using the electric field due to the negative charge and the force between the protons must be equal to the force of the negative sphere on each proton.

Imagine a sphere of radius a filled with negative charge of uniform denisty, the total charge being equivalen to that of two electrons. Imbed in this jelly of negative charge two protons and assume that in spite of their presence the negative charge distribution remains uniform. Where must the protons be located so that the force on each of them is zero?

well ok imagine there's a concetric sphere inside the main sphere where the protons are on the surface of this new sphere. In this new sphere what is the eenclosed charge??
remember dq = o dV where o is sigma
from here u can find the elctric field due to the negative charge of the sphere inside. From the electric field u can calculate the force of the negative sphere upon each proton. Also find hte force between the protons. the force of the negative sphere on each of the protons must be teh same as the repulsive force of the protons on each other.
 

Related to Spherical distribution of negative charge with two protons

1. What is a spherical distribution of negative charge with two protons?

A spherical distribution of negative charge with two protons refers to a physical model in which two positively charged protons are surrounded by a uniform distribution of negatively charged particles, creating a spherical shape.

2. How is a spherical distribution of negative charge with two protons formed?

A spherical distribution of negative charge with two protons can be formed through a process called ionization, in which atoms lose or gain electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge.

3. What is the significance of a spherical distribution of negative charge with two protons in chemistry?

In chemistry, a spherical distribution of negative charge with two protons is important because it represents the electronic structure of atoms and molecules. It helps to explain many chemical properties and behaviors, such as bonding and reactivity.

4. How does a spherical distribution of negative charge with two protons relate to atomic orbitals?

Atomic orbitals are regions in which electrons are most likely to be found in an atom. A spherical distribution of negative charge with two protons is the basis for the formation of atomic orbitals, as the negatively charged particles are attracted to the positively charged protons and are distributed around them in a spherical shape.

5. Can a spherical distribution of negative charge with two protons exist in isolation?

No, a spherical distribution of negative charge with two protons cannot exist in isolation as it is a theoretical model used to explain the electronic structure of atoms and molecules. In reality, electrons are constantly moving and are not in a fixed spherical distribution around the protons.
