Question
every bit of matter is composed of atoms. atoms have negatively charged electrons spinning around them. in most atoms, the electrons spin in random directions. for this reason, the electrons nullify, or cancel, each other. in certain kinds of matter, however, the electrons all spin in the same direction, which leads to an invisible force known as magnetism. when matter is magnetic, it pulls things containing iron to itself. because steel contains a high percentage of iron, objects made with steel, such as paperclips, are drawn to magnets. match causes with their effects. magnetism is created. magnets attract paperclips. electrons negate each other. cause electrons spin randomly. electrons spin in the same direction. steel contains iron. effect
- When electrons spin randomly, they nullify each other, so the effect is "Electrons negate each other".
- When electrons spin in the same direction, magnetism is created.
- Since steel contains iron (and magnets attract iron - containing objects), the effect is "Magnets attract paperclips".
