To calculate the electrostatic force of attraction between a proton and an electron in a hydrogen atom, we will use Coulomb's Law. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the charges and the separation distance - The charge of the electron (q1) = -1.6 x 10^(-19) C - The charge of the proton (q2) = +1.6 x 10^(-19) C - The separation distance (R) = 0.05 nm = 0.05 x 10^(-9) m = 5.0 x 10^(-11) m ### Step 2: Write down Coulomb's Law ...
