Yes. When an electron moves into or out of the electron cloud of an atom, the atom changes ionization level. That constitutes a change in charge. We consider the charge to be negative when electrons are added, and positive when electrons are removed. More often, when there is an electric current flowing, the electrons push each other around the circuit, so the net charge tends to remain the same, although that's the resistive case - its not quite the same when you charge a capacitor or an inductor.

How do positively charged objects differ from negatively charged objects?
Positively charged objects have more protons than electrons. Negatively charged objects have more electrons than protons.
How are solid materials charged?
They are charged by the transfer of electrons! :)
Who wants electrons?
positively-charged objects
Which part of an atom is involved in charging objects?
The parts of an atom that are involved in charging objects are the protons and the electrons. Protons are positively charged, while electrons are negatively charged.
How do objects charge by contact?
Objects become charged when electrons move from object to another
Does grounding have an effect on charged objects?
Grounding is the process of removing the excess charge on an object by means of the transfer of electrons between it and another object of substantial size. When a charged object is grounded, the excess charge is balanced by the transfer of electrons between the charged object and a ground. A ground is simply an object which serves as a seemingly infinite reservoir of electrons; the ground is capable of transferring electrons to or receiving electrons from a charged object in order to neutralize that object.
What involves the movement of electrons in neutral objects due to the electric field produced by charged objects?
induction
What kind of bond forms from the transfer of electrons?
An ionic bond forms from the transfer of electrons. The atom that loses one or more electrons forms a positively charged ion, and the atom that gains one or more electrons forms a negatively charged ion. The ionic bond is formed by an electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
What happens with electrons when objects become positively or negatively charged?
The same thing happens for both, if the electroscope is positvely charged it attracts electrons to the top and sends protons to the leaves causing them to repel and visaversa with negative.
What type of particles flow between objects when they are charged by friction or conduction?
Electrons.
Is conductions the transfer of electrons from a charged object to another object by rubbing?
false
Conduction is the transfer of electrons from a charged object to another object by rubbing?
it is False.
