Imagine that a water molecule is made of two positively charged hydrogen atoms, each with charge +q, and one negatively charged oxygen atom, with charge –2q. These atoms are arranged as shown. The magnitude of the electron charge q = 1.6 x 10^19 C and the distance unit used in the diagram, “pm”, is picometers, or 10^-12 m. How much energy would it take for you to completely remove the positively charged hydrogen atom on the left from this molecule, leaving behind the remaining (now net negative) OH pair?
The correct answer is 3.3 x 10^-1 J. Please help explain to me how to solve this problem on electric potential / potential energy. Thanks.

a)
The water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen
atom. Since the oxygen atom has a higher electronegativity than the
hydrogen atom, the side of the molecule with the oxygen atom has a
partial negative charge.
Assume that the partial positive charge on each hydrogen atom is
Q2 = 0.512 x 10-19 C. What is the
electric charge Q1 on the Oxygen atom?

In its core the Sun changed, hydrogen into helium and produces energy by this nuclear fusion process. Each hydrogen atom has a positively charged center (a proton) and a negatively charged electron that exists around the periphery of the atom. The heat of the Sun pulls the electrons off the hydrogen atoms, leaving positively charged protons behind. To make energy the sun has to force these positively charged particles very close together so that a very strong but short range...

2. This problem will help you understand how two atoms can form a molecule through the process of chemical bonding. The physics behind the chemical bonding is very much the same as that discussed in energy splitting process to form energy bands in a macroscopic matter state where we have a lot of atoms involved but all atoms are nicely arranged to form a kind of periodic structure. In this problem, let's make things even simpler: we only consider two...
