Question

The charge of an electron is $1.6 \times {10^{ - 19}}$coulombs. What will be the value of charge on \[N{a^ + }\]ion?
(A) $1.6 \times {10^{ - 19}}$$C$
(B) $3.2 \times {10^{ - 19}}C$
(C) $2.4 \times {10^{ - 19}}$$C$
(D) $10 \times 1.6 \times {10^{ - 19}}C$

Answer 1

Hint: the charge on a single electron is $1.6 \times {10^{ - 19}}$ coulomb the charge on a single proton is $ + 1.6 \times {10^{ - 19}}$coulomb. The quantity of charge on an object reflects the amount of imbalance between electrons and protons on that object

Complete step by step answer:
 The charge of an electron is $1.6 \times {10^{ - 19}}$coulombs no lose one electron to form $N{a^ + }$ion hence value of charge on sodium will be is $1.6 \times {10^{ - 19}}$coulombs

So, the correct answer is Option A.

Additional information:
Electric charges are of two general types:
Positive and negative. Two objects that show an excess of one type of charge exert a force of repulsion on each other when relatively close together. Two objects that have excess opposite charge, one positively charged and the other negatively charged, attract each other when relatively near.
There are certain other basic properties than an electric charge follows from the electric charge definition
1.charges are additive in nature.
2.A charge is a conserved quantity.
3.Quantization of charge.
S.I. The unit of electric charge is the coulomb and is defined as the amount of electric charge that flows through a cross section of conductor in any electric circuit during each second when the current has a value of one ampere.
The electric charges do produce electric fields. Moreover, a moving charge also does produce a magnetic field. The interaction of an electric charger with an electromagnetic field, which is the combination of electric and magnetic fields, is the source of the electromagnetic force.
It is to be noted that electric charge remains conserved in an isolated system, in any chemical or nuclear reaction. The net electric charge is constant. The algebraic sum of all fundamental charges remains the same.


Note: The electric charge of an object and the relative electrostatic discharge that is produced when two objects are brought together, which are not in equilibrium. Is said to be static electricity. Also, an electrostatic discharge to create a change in the charge of each of the two objects.
