placed inside this region. Draw a diagram of the situation, and use it to answer the following question: Which of the
following statements are correct? Select all that apply.
(A) Because the net charge of the carbon atom is zero, it cannot be affected by an electric field.
(B) The electron cloud in the carbon atom shifts to the left.
(C) The neutral carbon atom polarizes and becomes a dipole.
(D) The nucleus of the carbon atom shifts to the left.
