Question

Which of the following statements is not true?
A)Negatively charged objects attract other negatively charged objects.
B) Positively charged objects attraact negatively charged objects.
C) Positively charged objects attract neutral objects.
D) Negatively charges objects attract neutral objects

Answer 1

Electrostatic forces cause repulsion between objects with the same charge. However, at short enough ranges, the nuclear bonding forces are more powerful. This explains why two hydrogen nuclei (a proton each) don't typically bump into each other and form a helium nucleus (2 protons) with some neutrons that happen to be passing through — the electrostatic repulsion keeps them from getting close enough for the nuclear bonding forces to pull them together, except under great temperature and pressure (interior of a star, for example).

Answer 2

A)Negatively charged objects attract other negatively charged objects.
