A neutral carbon atom is in a region in which there is a uniform electric field (constant in magnitude and direction throughout the region) in the -x direction, as shown in the diagram. The electric field is due to charges not shown in the diagram. Choose all statements below that are correct: The electric field causes the carbon atom to rotate, but does not otherwise affect it. □ The electron cloud surrounding the carbon nucleus is displaced slightly in the +x direction. O The carbon atom experiences a net electric force in the +x direction. □ The net electric force on the electron cloud is equal and opposite to the net electric force on the carbon nucleus. Because the carbon atom is neutral, the electric field does not affect it in any way. Part 2 Which schematic diagram best represents the charge distribution within the carbon atom? O O + DO + + Part 3 Now the carbon atom is moved to a different location, far from the original location. There is a proton located to the right of the carbon atom, as shown in the diagram below: Carbon atom + proton z out of page O The electron cloud surrounding the carbon nucleus is displaced slightly in the +x direction. O The carbon atom experiences a net electric force in the +x direction. O The net electric force on the electron cloud is equal and opposite to the net electric force on the carb nu O Because the carbon atom is neutral, the proton's electric field does not affect it in any way.
