- Q1When you rub one material, such as a balloon, against another material, such as your hair, electrons are transferred from the atoms of the balloons to the atoms of your hair. Then, you have static electricity! Your hair willnone of theseget wetStand on endfall out45sEditDelete

- Q3One of the easiest ways to move electrons from one material to another is by rubbing them together. This rubbing creates an electron transfer from one material to another. Say you rub a balloon against a wall. The end result is that the balloon has a net negative charge, while the wall has a net positive charge because it lost __________ to the balloon.electronsneutronsnucleiprotons45sEditDelete
- Q4When we rub a balloon against a wall and create that electron transfer, we have a buildup of negative charge on the balloon and positive charge on the wall. This makes the balloon stick to the wall! Why? Because opposite charges ____________ .none of theserepelattractfall apart45sEditDelete
