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.

If Z is the symbol for an element, which pair among the following represents isotopes of the same element?
anygoal [31]
<span>B. 51 50
Z and Z
25 25

It is because only this element have equal number of Protons (Bottom number) and are different in atomic masses (upper number)

Hope this helps!</span>

kramer

Answer:

Explanation:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=>\lambda=\frac{c}{f}=\frac{300x10^8\frac{m}{s}}{3.7*10^{14}\frac{1}{s}}=810.8108*10^{-9}m

Which of these describes an endothermic process?
Phoenix [80]
The third one down: "When barium hydroxide is mixed with ammonium chloride, ice crystals form on the outside of the container."

This is because an endothermic reaction [process] takes in more energy than it releases. Therefore because a decrease in energy leads to a decrease in temperature, the ice crystals forming show that it must be a endothermic reaction [process].

Hope this helps! :)
