<span>answer is A : attracted to the negative terminal of the voltage source
I think, that the "hole"moves as it captures a free electron leaving another hole in a slightly different place. The electron leaving leaves a net + charge, which is attracted to the negative terminal. Because the "hole" behaves as a positive charge it is attracted towards the negative terminal.</span>
I would be difficult to remove an electron from a Noble or Inert Gas (also known as the group 8 or 0 elements). This is because they all have filled outermost shells and as such the outermost shell would be held tightly to the nucleus and as such make it difficult to remove. Examples Helium, Neon, Argon, Xenon, Krypton and Radon
