Why doesn't static electricity cause ionic bonding?

I am pretty sure that static electricity doesn't cause ionic bonding, as it is only the hold of electricity in one area. The transfer of the electrons to other elements does not cause ionic bonding, as the electrons are transferred, rather than chemically combined. With this fact, every static electricity transfer plainly transfers electrons, while Ionic bonding, such as NaCl, combines AND transfers them.


Why is sulphuric acid transported in road tankers and not by trains?

train contain to much static electricity due to its metallic body but trucks a truck discharges the static electricity to the earth, so if sulphuric acid is transported by train that would cause an explosion due the reaction of sulphuric acid and static electricity


Can static electricity ignite natural gas?

cause electricity stimulates the molecules in the gas, and since igniting is the only mayor funccion a flammable gas can do, it ignites.


How does static electricity and magnesium differ?

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.

Also if you have on rubber sole shoes and you drag them along a carpet the first person you touch will be shocked by static electricity.
