What would you use to see if somthing is charged?
an electroscope is used to determine whether an object is charged or not. However, it will not tell if the object is positively or negatively charged.
If a postivively charged rod is brought near the knob of a positively charged electroscope the leaves of the electroscope will?

Why must a sphere rod and leaves of an electroscope be a conductor?
When a negatively charged rod touches the sphere of the electroscope, negative sharge spreads throughout the metal. Since the leaves are both negatively charged, the free ends repel and move away from each other. When a positvely rod touchs the sphere, negative charges move toward the sphere, causing the leaves to be positively charged. hope this helps :)
What are the negatively charged electrons attracted to?
protons, which are positively charged
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.
Attraction and repulsion?
Attraction and repulsion, in physics means, is when two objects attract and repel one another. For example, an When a negatively charged rod is brought near an electroscope with negatively charged leaves, the leaves will repel. Same goes for when a positively charged rod is brought near an electroscope with positively charged leaves, the leaves will repel. But if a negatively charged rod is brought near an electroscope with positively charged leaves, the leaves will attract. Kind of like opposites attract, and likeness repels.

Is lighting negatively charged or positively charged?
Negatively charge
Is an insulator positively charged or negatively charged?
I believe they'd are positively charged.
What is a positively or negativity charged atoms?
An ion is both positively and negatively charged.
Are electrons positively charged or negatively?
Negatively charged
Which type of compound is composed of negatively and positively charged atoms?
Ionic compounds are composed of negatively and positively charged atoms.
Does every atom have a negatively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons?
No. Every atom has a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons.Unless you are talking about antimatter. The atoms of antimatter have negatively charged nuclei and surrounded by positively charged positrons
When a girl combs her hair then they are charged negatively or positively?
It is positively

Is an ion is a charged particle?
yes. negatively charged ion is called cation and where as a positively charged ion is anion.
