The concept of lighting rod was originally developed by Ben-Franklin many people believe that lighting rods attract lighting. It is better to stated to say that lighting rods provides a low resistance path to ground that can be used to conduct the enormous electrical currents when lighting strikes occurs.

in a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules produced by the reaction are called products. no new atoms are created, and no atoms are destroyed. in a chemical reaction, reactants contact each other, bonds between atoms in the reactants are broken, and atoms rearrange and form new bonds to make the products.
