In bronze, a singly ionized copper atom and a doubly lonized tin atom are separated by a distance R-24.1 nm. Both are positively charged and so should repel, but they
are kept in place by their attraction to an electron in-between the two ions.
As a result of the combination of electrostatic forces between the ions and the electron, the three particles are kept in equilibrium, as shown in the figure below.

Which of the following could possibly happen when two neutral objects are rubbed together? There may be more than one possibility. (Select all that apply.) A.Friction between the two objects can destroy electrons in them, allowing both to have a net positive charge after contact B.Rubbing imparts energy to the two objects, allowing them to create excess electrons and thereby allowing both to have a net negative charge after contact. C.There might not be any changes to the chemical bonds between atoms, and the two objects remain neutral after contact. D.Chemical bonds can break in such a way that atoms in the objects can gain or lose electrons. One object can gain electrons overall, with the electrons coming from the other object.

- The foot of your average gecko is covered with billions of tinyhair tips—called spatulae—that are made of keratin, the proteinfound in human hair. A subtle shift of the electron distribution inboth the spatulae and the wall to which a gecko clings producesan adhesive force by means of the van der Waals interaction between molecules. Suppose a gecko uses its spatulae to cling to a vertical windowpane. If you were to describe this situation in terms ofa coefficient of static friction, ms, what value would you assign toms?
