|
What do same charges do? What do different charges do?

|
What is the charge in a hydrogen molecule?How many protons and electrons are there?
|

|
|
What is the conservation of energy?

|
|
What is more safer when lightning stricks, a metal building, a glass building, or a wood building?
|
The building that is safest is the metal building beaucuse it is a good conductor, it would conduct all the lighting on the outside of the building not the inside so you are safe, then the lighting would travel towards the ground.
