What makes a charged object attract an uncharged object?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ratling [72]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

its c I think C)

 

The reason for this is due to the phenomenon called "Charging by Induction". What that means is that when something with a charge, for example a negative charge, is brought near an uncharged one, it induces the opposite charge onto it (positive in this case) and therefore since opposites attract, it attracts it.

The reason for this is that since, just like a positive magnet rejects and pushed away like charges, the electrons hold a negative charge, they push away any electrons that may be in the neutrally charged item causing only protons to be left, thus creating an oppositely charged object. Or vice versa.

So whatever charge the object has, it induces the opposite charge into the uncharged object, causing the charges to move only in the uncharged one.

what happens to the radius of the atoms of an element as you go towards the right in a row of the periodic table ?
Olegator [25]

Answer:

It decreases

Explanation:

As one moves from left to right on the periodic table, the radius of atoms reduces due to the nuclear pull.

  • The size of an atom estimated by the atomic radius is taken as half of the internuclear distance between the two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements.
  • Across a period, atomic radius decreases progressively from left to right.
  • This is due to the increasing nuclear charge without attendant increase in the number of electronic shell.
