Homework Statement
This is just a thought experiment and I wanted to know if my answer is correct.
If I...
1) Tie a string to one of the plastic combs and suspend this comb from the edge of a table
2) Then rub the suspended plastic comb in wool to give it a negative charge
3) and If I bring a piece of glass near the charged suspended comb
4) or if I bring a piece of rubber near the charged suspended comb
Then for the glass I will observe that the charged comb will move away from the glass.
And for the rubber I will observe that the charged comb moves toward the rubber.
This is because glass has low electronegativity and rubber has a high electronegativity on the electrostatic series?
Would my hypothesis be correct?
