Which statement is the best explanation for why two negatively charged balloons move apart without ever touching? 1)Electric charges have electric fields surrounding them that allow them to exert forces on other objects without touching them.

2)Electrons from one balloon jump to the other and push it, without ever touching it.

3)The space between objects is actually filled with charged particles that all interact.

4)Charged objects send little lightning bolts of electrons across the space between the two balloons.
