What occurs when positive and negative electrical changes build up in the clouds?

Eventually the two charges will have to balance out with what we call lightening?


Why do magnets work?

Magnetic attraction occurs due to the effect of magnetic fields on electrical currents. An electric current would be the flow of electric charge (positive or negative depending on the amount of electrons present). A magnetic field is produced by moving electrical charges to effect other charges (basically).


Atoms have a positive change when?

Protons contribute positive charges to atoms, while electrons contribute negative charges. An atom will have an overall positive charge if it has more protons than it does electrons. This most commonly occurs when an atom loses an electron or two, like what is common with alkaline and earth metals.


What is the result of two objects with disimilar electrical charges touching?

An electrostatic discharge (ESD) occurs, to balance out the dissimilar electrical charges between the objects.


What does the electrical charge on the inside of the axon become when depolarization occurs?

During depolarization, sodium ions rush into the axon, making the inside negative, and the outside positive.


Is it true that lightning can happen because of the release of static electricity?

Yes, that is true. Lightning is a natural electrical discharge that occurs when there is a buildup and subsequent release of static electricity in the atmosphere. The discharge can happen between clouds, or between a cloud and the ground, resulting in the visible flash of light we see as lightning.


What occurs when cations and anions are attracted to positive and negative ends of water molecules?

This is because the H2O has a positive side and a negative side. The negative Oxygen side will attract to positive the positive Hydrogen side will attract to negative. it has two sides because it is a bent molecule.


Why do two balloons repel each other after rubbed with wool?

It's due to static electricity build up. The balloons have become charged with electricity and it is the same charge on both balloons (either positive or negative). Opposite charges attract, identical charges repel each other.


What occurs when electrical charges build up on a surface of an object?

When you build up electrical charges on the surface of an object you get static. Static can result in a small shock if the electrical charge is given a direct conductive contact to the ground.


Why do some covalent bonds have charges?

because not every bond is completely covalent. When there is a difference in electronegativity between the atoms, then a separation of charges occurs because the higher electronegative ion pulls the electrons towards it causing it to be partially negative and the other to be partially positive.
