Anestetic [448]3 years ago
6 0
Sulfur is a group six element in period 3 with atomic number 16 and an electronic configuration of 2:8:6. Therefore, to attain a stable configuration it requires to gain two electrons forming an ion with a charge of -2. The negative charge is due to the gaining of electrons.

What makes a charged object attract an uncharged object?
Ratling [72]

Answer:

its c I think C)

 

The reason for this is due to the phenomenon called "Charging by Induction". What that means is that when something with a charge, for example a negative charge, is brought near an uncharged one, it induces the opposite charge onto it (positive in this case) and therefore since opposites attract, it attracts it.

The reason for this is that since, just like a positive magnet rejects and pushed away like charges, the electrons hold a negative charge, they push away any electrons that may be in the neutrally charged item causing only protons to be left, thus creating an oppositely charged object. Or vice versa.

So whatever charge the object has, it induces the opposite charge into the uncharged object, causing the charges to move only in the uncharged one.
