Question:
A useful model of a water molecule is sketched in Figure P18.86, with point charges of 5.2 × 10-20 C at the H sites and a point charge -10.4 × 10-20 C at the O site. The H–O bond length is 9.6 × 10-11 m, and the bond angle is θ = 104°.
(a) What is the total electric potential energy of this model of a water molecule?
(b) How much work would be required to completely disassociate the molecule?
