A neutral object is sketched below, in black and white. There are positive and negative electric charges inside this object, and at least some of those charges can move around. Now suppose a positive charge comes close to this object, as shown in the sketch. Shade the object red anywhere you expect it to become more negatively charged, and shade the object blue anywhere you expect it to become more positively charged.

The compound hexaazaisowurtzitane is one of the highest-energy explosives known (C E News, Jan. 17, 1994, p. 26). The compound, also known as CL-20, was first synthesized in 1987. The method of synthesis and detailed performance data are still classified because of CL-20s potential military application in rocket boosters and in warheads of smart weapons. The structure of CL-20 is In such shorthand structures, each point where lines meet represents a carbon atom. In addition, the hydrogens attached to the carbon atoms are omitted; each of the six carbon atoms has one hydrogen atom attached. Finally, assume that the two O atoms in the NO2 groups are attached to N with one single bond and one double bond. Three possible reactions for the explosive decomposition ofCL-20 are i. C6H6N12O12(s)6CO(g)+6N2(g)+3H2O(g)+32O2(g) ii. C6H6N12O12(s) 3CO(g) + 3CO2(g) + 6N2(g) + 3H2O(g) iii. C6H6N12O12(s) 6CO2(g) + 6N2(g) + 3H2 (g) a. Use bond energies to estimate E for these three reactions. b. Which of the above reactions releases the largest amount of energy per kilogram of CL-20?

You electrically charge a plastic rod by rubbing it against fur. You then place the rod near a few little pieces of paper and the pieces of paper stick to the plastic rod. Explain why this happens. Think of what happens to the charge inside of the pieces of paper. The charged rod transfers electrons to the pieces of paper, creating charge unbalance. The excess negative charge on the plastic rod attracts the negative charges in the pieces of paper, causing charge polarization. The charged fur transfers electrons to the pieces of paper, creating charge unbalance. The charged paper transfers electrons to the rod, creating charge unbalance. The charged rod transfers protons to the pieces of paper, creating charge polarization. The paper is a naturally charged object so it is attracted by the plastic rod. It is impossible to determine because we don't know the amount of charge on each.
