Explain why clothes dried in a dryer often stick together?
It's called 'static electricity' ... certain fabrics are attracted to each other. This is because some of the clothes have gained electrons by rubbing against other clothes. The clothes losing electrons become positive. The negative clothes are attracted to the positive clothes.
How does static cling form on clothes?
Static cling comes from the build-up of static electricity. Any solid material is made up of atoms, which are made out of electrons. For an atom to be stable it must have a certain number of positive and negative electrons. If there are any that are missing then the atom will try and take electrons from something else, which causes the clinging.
What is static electricity caused by?
socks taken from a clothes dryer stick together
Which subatomic particle determines reactivity?
Electrons, for chemical reactions
What are the electrons in the outer shell?
Those electrons are the valence electrons. They are the electrons which mostly take part in exchange of electrons or sharing of electrons. Hence, valence shell electrons are a very important part of chemistry since all the reactions due to them only.

Why 'tik-tik' sound is heard when you take off the polyster clothes?
When polyster clothes are put off static electricity is produced. Thus,due to transfer of electrons tik tik sound is produced when polyster clothes are put off.
Why do some clothes are charged during the day?
Because the clothes rub against each other, which scrapes off electrons, causing static charge. The charge cant move( clothes are insulators) so charge builds up during the day
