explain the flow of electrons during lightning
Answers
Positive and negative ions are kept together in ionic solids (or salts) by the strong attraction between particles with opposing charges. When one of these solids dissolves in water, the ions that make up the solid are liberated into solution and join the polar solvent molecules.
When salts dissolve in water, we may suppose that they dissociate into their ions. Ionic compounds dissolve in water if the energy released by the ions when they contact with water molecules is sufficient to offset the energy necessary to break the ionic bonds in the solid and to separate the water molecules so that the ions may be put into solution.
Lightning is typically seen during thunderstorms and other sorts of intense weather systems, but it may also happen during volcanic eruptions.
