Lightning
A flash of lightning is the result.

False A+
Eventually the two charges will have to balance out with what we call lightening?
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).
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.
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) occurs, to balance out the dissimilar electrical charges between the objects.
During depolarization, sodium ions rush into the axon, making the inside negative, and the outside positive.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
