Question

you run your finger You run your finger along the stick side of a positively charged tape, and then observe that the tape is no longer attracted to your hand. Which of the following are not plausible explanation for the observation? Check all that apply. Protons are pulled out of the nuclei of atoms in the tape, and move onto your finger. Chloride ions(Cl^-) from the salt water on your skin move onto the tape, leaving the tape with a zero(or very small) net charge. Electrons from the mobile electron see in your hand move onto the tape, leaving the tape with a zero(or very small) net charge. Sodium ions(Na^+) from the salt water on your skin move onto the tape, with a zero (or very small) net charge.

Explanation / Answer

since, salt water contain NaCl

NaCl>> Na+ + Cl-

so, probably Cl- ion will move into tape and will nullify the total charge,

rest other assumptions seems wrong here
