The short answer is no. Although matter is affected by electrostatic forces of attraction, no current is flowing and thus it does not fit the definition of electricity (a term for the variety of phenomena resulting from the presence and flow of electric charge).

∙ 11y agoAt the atomic level, an atom can become electrically charged by either losing or gaining an electron or electrons. When an atom loses an electron it becomes positively charged. When an atom gains an electron it become negatively charged. This is how certain elements bond with certain other elements.

more to it a lot more.

What is electrically neutral matter?
Electrically neutral matter is matter without a charge.
A characteristic of matter that can be observed only when matter is changed into a new kind of matter is called a?
It is a chemical property. A chemical property is a characteristic of matter that allows it to change to a different type of matter.
How do you become a good typer?
As a matter a fact, sure i do
What happenes to the charge of and atom when it gains electrons?
when atoms gain electrons they acquire negative charge
What is an atomic particle that has no charge or is electrically neutral?
a neutron
What is electrically neutral matter?
Electrically neutral matter is matter without a charge.
What is an atom or group of atoms that has become electrically changed?
When an atom or group of atoms becomes electrically charged, it is referred to as an ion. If it has a positive charge (+) it is called a cation, and if it has a negative charge (-), it is called an anion.
What state of matter consits of electrically charged particles?
ions are electrically charged particles
Which state does matter take when it is heated to very high temperatures and the atoms become electrically charged?
this is for every on on A plus the answer is plasma :) this was Ben McClanahan HHA

What is a state of matter that has electrically charges parcticles?
Plasma
If you rub a polythene rod with a cloth will it become magnetic?
No, it will not become magnetic. It will become electrically charged.
When does matter turn into plasma?
Matter becomes a plasma when it becomes a gas and the gas is ionized (electrically charged)
What state of matter consists of electrically charge particles?
The correct answer has to be plasma.
How can materials become electrically charged?
Material can become electrically charged when two different material are brought into close contact, some of the electrons move from one material to another.
How are the states of matter the same?
they can all be changed into other matter in some way, i.e. water can be frozen to become a solid and ice can be melted to become a liquid, or water can be evaporated to become a gas and that type of gas can form into a cloud and rain to become a liquad
The state of matter that your sun is made up of is?
Star matter exists as plasma; it is usually superheated and is electrically conductive.
