Answer:

B) repel each other.

Explanation:

The Van de Graaff generator works by generating net positive charges. Consequently, any material that comes in contact with the electrostatic generator ends up becoming positively charged.

When a human touches the generator, such human also becomes positively charged including every strand of hair on the person's head.

According to Coulomb's law of electric forces, like charges repel one another while unlike charges attract. <em>Hence, the positively charged hair strands try to stay as far away from one another as possible in accordance with Coulomb's law which manifests as 'standing up of hair strands'</em>.

The correct option is B.

How does a network solid differ from most other covalent compounds
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Covalent compounds are held by intermolecular forces while network solids are held by strong bonds in unit cells which are closely packed together.

Explanation:

Covalent compound molecules are held by vanderwaals forces which are relatively weak but strong enough to hold some covalent molecules together in the solid state. However, network solids contain atom to atom covalent bonds arranged in an orderly manner and regular repeating unit cells to form a rigid three dimensional network solid.
