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.

A gas with a vapor density greater than that of air, would be most effectively displaced out off a vessel by?
AURORKA [14]

A gas with a vapor density greater than that of air, would be most effectively displaced out off a vessel by ventilation.

The two following principles determine the type of ventilation: Considering the impact of the contaminant's vapour density and either positive or negative pressure is applied.

Consider a vertical tank that is filled with methane gas. Methane would leak out if we opened the top hatch since its vapour density is far lower than that of air. A second opening could be built at the bottom to greatly increase the process' efficiency.

A faster atmospheric turnover would follow from air being pulled in via the bottom while the methane was vented out the top. The rate of natural ventilation will increase with the difference in vapour density. Numerous gases that require ventilation are either present in fairly low concentrations or have vapor densities close to one.

What geometric shape is the carbon dioxide molecule? The Lewis structure for CO2 contains two double bonds.
adelina 88 [10]
Answer: Linear

Explaination: The central atom of a carbon dioxide molecule is carbon. Carbon is tetravalent which just means it has 4 valence electrons. Because the valence shell isn’t full, the carbon atom can bond with other atoms creating a total of 4 bonds. This then allows the carbon to double bond with 2 oxygen atoms. Now, the atoms in the CO2 molecule Don’t share the electrons evenly because of atomic number or proton count. Because oxygen has an atomic number of 6, carbon has an atomic number of 4, and opposites attract (referring to the positivity of the nucleus and the negativity of the shared electrons), the oxygen atoms will have a slightly negative charge (-) and the oxygen will have a slightly positive charge (+ ). Therefore, the slightly negative oxygen atoms repel creating that linear shape.
