What is the charge cloud?

Answer 1

Formation:

The first process in the generation of lightning is charge separation.

The mechanism by which charge separation happens is still the subject of research, but one hypothesis is the polarization mechanism, which has two components:

1. Falling droplets of ice and rain become electrically polarized as they fall through the atmosphere's natural electric field;

2. Colliding ice particles become charged by electrostatic induction.

Ice and supercooled water are the keys to the process. Violent winds buffet tiny hailstones as they form, causing them to collide. When the hailstones hit ice crystals, some negative ions transfer from one particle to another. The smaller, lighter particles lose negative ions and become positive; the larger, more massive particles gain negative ions and become negative.

Answer 2

The charge cloud refers to the region around an atomic nucleus where electrons are most likely to be found. It represents the probability of finding an electron in a specific location within an atom. The charge cloud is often visualized as a three-dimensional shape that helps describe electron distribution in an atom.

Answer 3

it is basically a model that shows the probability that an eletron exists in that position

Answer 4

type of charged is a cloud is negative charged type of charged is a cloud is negative charged

Answer 5

When two heavy rain clouds rub together it creates static electricity

Answer 6

The charge comes from the clouds rubbing together making static electricity.

Hope this answers your question :)

Answer 7

An area where you have a really big chance of finding an electron pair, the electrons don't stay still - they whizz around inside the charge cloud

Answer 8

Negative.
