How would the balloons interaction with each other change if the balloons were moved further apart? Explain.

Explanation:

It is known that like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other.

As the balloons are facing each other with like charges so they will repel each other. Hence, they will move apart.

But when balloons were moved further apart then interaction between them will decrease and then there will be no force of repulsion or force of attraction.

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.
