The correct answer is A. Solid Rock
"Ionization energy" is the one among the following choices given in the question that <span>decreases with increasing atomic number in Group 2A. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". I hope that the answer has helped you.</span>
<span>The charged balloon will stick to a neutral wall because of the Static Electricity:
</span>
The matter is formed by atoms and these atoms are composed of electrons, protons and neutrons (the electrons have a negative charge, the protons have a positive charge and the neutrons have no charge).
As the balloon is charged (It gained electrons), and the charge of the same sign repel each other, when it approaches the wall, the electrons of this wall will move away, and the positive charges (protons) will remain in the nearest area to the balloon. As the charges of different signs are attracted, the balloon will be stuck to the wall.
Explanation:
In local galactic group the force of expansion of universe is overcome by the force of attraction due to gravity. Best example is our own galaxy milky way and another giant galaxy in our local group Andromeda. Andromeda having enormous gravity is pulling milky way towards itself, overcoming the force of expansion.
So, there are possibilities of collision despite the expansion of universe at a rapid pace. It is estimated that the milky way and Andromeda will collide each other after about 50 billion years from now.
