Are materials that can be statically charged conductors or insulators?
Either one can acquire a static charge.
What are the differences between charged conductors and insulators?
Insulators block the flow of electricity, and therfore cannot be charged. That is completely wrong. An insulator can be charged. The difference is that the charge carriers in an insulator will be still, and will not respond to each other's fields. This is not true for a conductor, where the coulomb forces between charges will force all charge to the surface of the conductor, as a result of Gauss' law.
A balloon becomes negatively charged when rubbed against someone's sleevehow does it becomes charged?
Friction from rubbing the balloon on a sleeve creates static electricy,therefore the balloon becomes negatively charged.
Does an alloy have any electric charge?
Anything can be charged conductors insulators, metals, plastic, compounds alloys, anything. just apply voltage.
Why are blankets good insulators?
Blankets are defined to be insulators.
What kind of materials become electrically charged when they are rubbed together?
Insulators

How do charged conductors and insulators differ from each other?
Insulators prevent electricity or energy from going through them. Conductors allow electricity/energy to easily pass through.

How is a stactically charged ion formed?
A statically charged ion is formed when there is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material especially relatively non-conductive insulators such as plastics, paper, glass, and ceramics.

What do you call poor conductors?
Insulators.
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.
Are Crayons insulators or conductors?
insulators
Are humans conductors or insulators?
humans are not insulators, but are conductors!
Why are blankets good insulators?
Blankets are defined to be insulators.
