Explanation: We are given three balloon carrying different charges: One having positive charge, one having negative charge and one having no charge.
When we bring positive rod near these three balloons, all of them behave differently.
According to the Coulomb's Law:
Like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other.
- When we bring positive rod towards the balloon having positive charge, the balloon will move away from the rod, because like charges repel each other.
- When we bring positive rod near negative balloon, the balloon will be attracted to the rod because unlike charges attract each other.
- But, when we bring positive rod towards the balloon having no charge, the charges will be induced in the balloon. Although the balloon is neutral in nature but it will still carry some +ve or -ve charges. So, when the positive rod is bought near neutral ball, the negative side of the balloon will get attracted towards the rod and positive side will be repelled. From this, we say that the rod has induced some charges in the balloon.
Answer:
The relative densities of an object and the liquid it is placed in determine whether that object will sink or float. An object that has a higher density than the liquid it's in will sink. An object that has a lower density than the liquid it's in will float.

Answer:
A positive ions is always smaller than the corresponding atom.
A negative ion is always larger than the corresponding atom.
Explanation:
The reason for this is that, when a positive ion is formed, a full shell is usually removed with its electrons thereby reducing the size of the electron cloud and decreasing the size of the electron cloud.
A negative ion is formed by addition of more electrons to the electron cloud hence it spreads out. Interelectronic repulsion accounts for the larger size of the negative ion.
Alkali metals have the lowest electronegativities, while halogens have the highest.
