Why neutral bodies attract positively charged bodies?
no
2.Positively charged objects can only attract objects that are negatively charged?
Any charged object weather positively charged or negatively charged will have an attractive interaction with a neutral object. Neutral objects do not attract or repel each other.
Is Chlorine a neutral atom?
Yes, Chlorine, like any other element, is a neutral atom, but it can form charged ions.
How can an atom be electrically neutral charged when it contain particles that are charged?
an atom is electrically neutral if the protons and electrons are the same number. ex: if you have 16 protons and 16 electrons its is neutral
Do a negativity charged and neutral object repel?
No. But they can attract each other, provided the neutral object is a metal, in which case the negatively charged object will induce charges on it to cause the attraction.
Why ionic compound are neutral even though they are made up of charged particles?
The ions that bond are charged, but the compound formed is neutral because the charges of the ions cancel each other.
Why are ionic compounds neutral even though they are made up of charged particles?
The ions that bond are charged, but the compound formed is neutral because the charges of the ions cancel each other.
How do charged objects interact with each other differently from the way a charged object interacts with neutral objects?
Two objects that are similarly charged will repel, while two objects with opposite charges will attract. Moreover, a neutral object will attract either charges
How do charged objects affect neutral objects?
Objects with the same charge repel each other.
How do neutral objects behave when placed near charged objects?
They repel, same with two negatively charged objects
Why do some charged objects pull each other while other charged objects push each other?
The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.
An electrically neutral object can be attracted by a positively charged object because?
A neutral pith ball is still "charged", it just doesn't display excessively charged behavior. Since it is neutral, having nearly equal positive and negative charge, the proximity of the positively charged pith ball still attracts the negative charge present in the ball, inducing polarization moving the ball closer to the positively charged one. Once they make contact, the conductibility of the pith ball quickly accepts excess charge from the other, creating a like charge repulsion.
