atoms = smallest unit of an element
elements = contain only one type of atom
compounds = two or more elements that are chemically bound together
molecules = a group of atoms bonded together
When you rub an inflated balloon on your head and it makes your hair stand up, the force that makes the hair stand up is known as static electricity.
When the balloon is rubbed on the head, electrons from the hair atoms move into the balloon, thus making the balloon to be negatively charged and the hair positively charged due to loss of electrons.
Unlike charges attracts. Thus, when you try to pull the balloon away slowly, the positively charged hair and the negatively charged balloon will attract each other and this is usually what makes the hair stand up.

Answer:
Only one—(i), or (ii), or (iii)—increases the reaction rate.
Explanation:
<em>Which of the following changes always leads to an increase in the rate constant for a reaction?</em>
- <em>Decreasing the temperature. </em>NO. A lower temperature leads to a slower reaction because the molecules have less energy to react.
- <em>Decreasing the activation energy</em>. YES. According to the Arrhenius equation, the lower the activation energy, the higher the rate constant.
- <em>Making the value of ΔE more negative</em>. NO. A more negative ΔE means a reaction is more spontaneous but not faster.
