"because by rubbing you are moving negative charges from the object to the cloth, changing the overall charge of the object to a positive charge."

hope this helps!

Which metal will more easily lose an electron sodium or potassium?

sergey [27]

The metal that would more easily lose an electron would be potassium. It is more reactive than sodium. Also, looking on the periodic table, from top to bottom for groups 1 and 2, reactivity increases. So, it should be potassium. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

What is the hybridization of the central atom in CO2? Hybridization = What are the approximate bond angles in this substance? Bo

const2013 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hybridization is the combination of atomic orbitals to yield equivalent hybrid orbitals of appropriate energy which can participate in bonding.

In every compound there is a central atom. The central atom is usually the least electronegative atom in the molecule. In this case the least electronegative atom in the molecule is carbon.

The bond between carbon and oxygen in CO2 is intermittent between a pure double and a pure triple bond. Hence, carbon is sp hybridized.

Which type of heat transfer does the situation below model? At a sports event, the spectators do the 'wave'. Starting at one end

Zanzabum

Answer:

radiation

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described in the question it can be said that the type of heat transfer that is being modeled is radiation. Like demonstrated in the picture attached below, radiation involved the transfer of heat through rays, waves, or particles as opposed to fluids or gases. Which is what is happening in this scenario, since the individuals are building up heat by moving and that heat is being passed on to the individuals around them through waves.
