Electrostatics is a branch of physics that deals with electric charges at rest
The electrostaic attraction between atoms (a metal and a nonmetal) occur in ionic compounds.
Not particlarly it is weaker than the electrostaic attraction between ions but is the strongest of the intermolecular forces.
ESD simulators can be purchased online. These devices aid you in simulating, and monitoring Electrostaic discharge, so that you may look for relay actions.
Electrostatic forces between charged particles in gases are typically stronger because the particles are more spread out and have fewer interactions compared to solids where the particles are closely packed. In gases, charged particles have more freedom to move around and interact at longer distances, leading to stronger electrostatic forces compared to the more tightly bound particles in solids.
Electrostatic force IS stronger than gravitational force because the electrostatic force between a charged straw (which has been rubbed with a cloth) can defy gravity and stick to the ceiling.
Group 1 metals react with halogens through electron configuration. Group 1 (Alkali) metals have one electron in their outer shell.
