A Van Der Graaf generator is used to build up charges on the outside of a sphere. A belt is charged with electrons by rubbing against a rough pulley. These electrons are then transferred to a metal sp?

How ions are formed?
Ions are formed when electrons are transferred among atoms (gained or lost). The charge is determined by the inequal number of protons and electrons. A negatively-charged atom (more electrons than protons) is called an "anion." A positively-charged atom (fewer electrons than protons) is called a "cation." The electrons are located outside the nucleus, while the protons are inside the nucleus. Thus electrons are the charged particles being transferred from one atom to another and not the protons.
What are charged particles that form when one or more valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another?
Ionic bond
When a glass rod and fur rubbed together electrons are transferred from the fur to rod. Is the fur charged If any positively or negatively charged How much compared to the rod?
Yes , if elctron goes from fur to rod, fur is positively charged
When rubbing a wool sock on a glass rod what transfers to the sock?
The described action will leave the wool sock positively charged, as electrons will be transferred to the glass rod.
What is a molecule electrically charged?
You can create a charged material bytransferring electrons. The negative electrons which orbit the atom can easily be transfered as they have no strong bonds. While protons in the centre of the nucleus have a very strong bond with the neutron. When two things are rubbed together the negative electrons get transferred. The object with the most negative charges are negatively charged and the material or object that has the most protons is positively charged. Different charges attract, same charges repel Basically a charged electric molecule is part of the total count of electrons or protons on an object.
What particle is transferred when a neutral object is charged?
The electrons. :)
What are some examples of charging by contact?
When a charged object touches another object. Electrons can be transferred through friction. Electrons can also be transferred through contact and conduction. You can charge a neutral object by contact with a charged object. Charging by contact happens when electrons move from one object to a neutral object.
When a cation forms are more electrons transferred to it?
A cation is a positively charged ion. Thus, it would have fewer electrons than a non ionic form of the same element, so electrons are transferred away.
What happens to a van de graaff generator on a sub-atomic level?
Positively charged and negatively charged electrons are exchanged.
When cations form are more electrons transferred to it?
A cation is a positively charged ion. Thus, it would have fewer electrons than a non ionic form of the same element, so electrons are transferred away.
Why does a glass rod get positively charged when rubbed with rubber?
electrons are transferred from glass to rubber
How does friction cause insulators to become charged?
When an insulator rubs against another material, it can cause electrons to be transferred from one material to the other due to the contact and separation forces. This results in one material becoming positively charged and the other becoming negatively charged. Friction between the insulator and another material can create an imbalance of electrons on the insulator's surface, leading to the insulator becoming charged.

Can a negative charged object attract other negative charged objects?
objects can be negatively charged when it is rubbed with another object; a woolen cloth for example. this is because the electrons from the woolen cloth will be transferred to the object which is being rubbed! only electrons can be transferred to the object and make the object becomes negatively charged.
What describes how an atom becomes negatively charged?
electrons are transferred to the atom from other atoms through direct contact
What are charged particles that form when one or more valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another?
Ionic bond
When acetate is rubbed against your hair which loses and which gains electrons?
Acetate loses electrons, and the hair gains electrons. So acetate is negatively charged, meaning that the hair is positively charged.
