The question is about comparing two different quantities. Static electricity is a physical phenomenon (for example, heat). It is about the accumulation of electrons or the lack of electrons on insulating surfaces. Magnesium is a metal, a material, that is a conductor and burns brightly when lit. Other than that Magnesium cannot accumulate electrons at the surface to cause static electricity, I don't see any relation.

What is the relationship between atoms and static electricity?

Static electricity is caused by the imbalance of positive and negative charges on the surface of an object. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. When two objects rub against each other, electrons can be transferred between them, leading to an excess or deficit of electrons on the surface of the objects, creating static electricity.


Does magnesium conduct heat and electricity?

Magnesium is a good conductor of heat but a poor conductor of electricity. This is because it has mobile electrons that can transfer thermal energy effectively but its electron configuration limits its ability to conduct electricity well.


Rubbing certain materials together creates?

Rubbing certain materials together creates static electricity. This occurs when electrons are transferred from one material to another, resulting in a buildup of electric charge.


What is ozonated magnesium oxide and how does it differ from traditional magnesium oxide supplements?

Ozonated magnesium oxide is a form of magnesium oxide that has been exposed to ozone gas. This process is believed to increase the bioavailability and effectiveness of the magnesium. Traditional magnesium oxide supplements are not exposed to ozone gas and may have lower absorption rates in the body.


What does anti-static do in furniture polish?

it makes the dust unable to settle as the dust is attracted to the static of the sofa when a material is rubbed against it. With the antstatic it is not attracted to the sofa and will not settle

Static electricity translates into electrons not in motion. Typically, you rub rubber on fur to get static electricity. I get static electricity from petting my cat (I am a rubber of my cat, but I am not made of rubber.)
