In a polar covalent bond, the distribution of common electrons are not shared evenly due to a greater positive charge from one atom's nucleus.Oct 30, 2016
Simply put, Potential energy is the "build up". If I had a ball on the top a 5ft slide, it would have potential energy, as long as it hasn't slid down yet.
If I had another ball on a 10ft slide, it would have twice the potential energy the first ball had.
What comes next is kinetic energy, which is the energy used when the object is moving, like the ball as it goes down the slide. The faster it moves, the more kinetic energy.
Basically, <em>Potential</em> is the "build up" but it does not, I repeat does not move.
<em>Kinetic</em> energy is the use of the "build up" through movement.

Burning alcohol for fuel has been used throughout history. There are some alcohols that are the best ones to use as fuels because of their nature and can be synthesized chemicaly or biologicaly. Except, some of those alcohol also has a bad effect when burned for fuel as it would cause serious negative chemical effects when exposed to the human body such as blindness or death. Therefore, the best answer would be False.
Answer:
An atom becomes charged when there is an unequal amount of positive and negative particles in the nucleus.
An atom gets a positive charge when there is an increase in protons or a decrease in electrons, such that there are more protons than electrons in the nucleus.
An atom gets a negative charge when there is an increase in electrons or a decrease in protons, such that there are more electrons than protons in the nucleus.
An atom can get a charge with a change of particles in the nucleus if that change results in an uneven number of protons and electrons.
Explanation:
Because protons are positively charged particles and electrons are negatively charged particles, a neutral atom has an equal amount of protons and electrons, so that the opposite charges of the particles cancel each other out.
However, if there is an unequal amount of protons or electrons in the nucleus, the charge of the particles will no longer be canceled out, and the atom as a whole will take on a positive or negative charge.
