The electrostatic force of repulsion between two positively charged ions carrying equal charge is `3.7xx10^(-9)N`, when they are separated by a distance of `5Å`. How much electrons are missing from each ion?

Options

A. 10
B. 8
C. 2
D. 1

Explanation

To solve the problem, we will use Coulomb's law, which describes the electrostatic force between two charged objects. The formula for the electrostatic force \( F \) between two point charges \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \) separated by a distance \( r \) is given by:

\[ F = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \cdot \frac{q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^2} \]

Where:
- \( F \) is the electrostatic force,
