How is it possible for two neutral objects to become charged by rubbing them together? A. The binding force of the objects’ atom

s overcomes the frictional force and their atoms become more tightly bound. B. The frictional force overcomes the atoms’ binding force, which releases an electron from the innermost orbit of one of the objects. C. There is no change in the objects. D. The frictional force overcomes the force that binds the electrons to the atoms, enabling the electrons to move elsewhere

Answer:

D. The frictional force overcomes the force that binds the electrons to the atoms, enabling the electrons to move elsewhere

Explanation:

Neutral objects becomes charged by rubbing them together due to the frictional force which overcomes the attractive force holding electrons together in an atom.

Friction is the resistance to flow or movement. When we rub bodies together, the movement of electrons becomes inhibited and this can cause an orbital electron loosely held in an atom to be pulled off as the force of friction increases. This mechanism would result in a body losing electron and another readily gaining that electron as they interact. The loss and gain of electrons causes a neutral body to become charged.

Help pleaseee!!!Please explain how evaporation condensation and precipitation are involved in the water cycle
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: The water cycle shows the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere. ... Liquid water evaporates into water vapor, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates back to earth in the form of rain and snow. Water in different phases moves through the atmosphere (transportation).

The effective nuclear charge is the amount of charge experienced by an electron taking into account any shielding effects from o
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The nuclear charge increases from boron to carbon, but there is no additional shielding( that is no additional shells).

Explanation:

First of all, we must know the electron configuration of carbon and boron.

Boron- 1s2 2s2 2p1

Carbon- 1s2 2s2 2p2

Moving from boron to carbon, the effective nuclear charge increases without a corresponding increase in the number of shells. Remember that shielding increases with increase in the number of intervening shells between the outermost electron and the nucleus. Since there isn't an increase in shells, boron experience a lower screening effect.

From

Zeff= Z- S

The Z for carbon is 6 while for boron is 5 even though both have the same number of screening electron S(4 screening electrons). Hence it is expected the Zeff(effective nuclear charge) for boron will be less than that of carbon.
