What is caused by a build up of electrons?
a net negative charge
What happens to a cell's nad when large numbers of high energy electrons are produced in a short time?
They build up.
What do you get lightning?
Lightning is a sudden discharge of electrons from clouds to the ground. When storm clouds gather up lots of electrons, which are negative, the electrons are attracted to the ground's positive charge (opposites attract). The cloud's electrons build up so much that they leap to the ground in one stream, causing visible lightning.
What is lightning and what causes the lightning?

How could we build of other atoms?
Electrons
How does static charge build up in a thundercloud?
the atoms electrons start to build up until there is an excess of electrons, then there is a discharge and the lightning is grounded by hitting the closest thing to the ground.
What elements that build up electrical discharge?
Electrons build up electrical discharge. They carry negative charge.
What is stored charge?
In a capacitor it is a build up of electrons on a plate.
What is caused by a build up of electrons?
a net negative charge
H ions build up in what space?
as the electrons pass down the electron transport chain, h+ ions build up in the _____ space?
How voltage is developed?
Voltage is a build up of electrons at one location relative to another location. To form a voltage gradient (difference), you need to somehow build up electrons at one location, or remove electrons from one location. Shuffling your feet on a thick carpet can do this!
When a large build up of electrons you get this?
Sparks! And when the distance is large enough, lightning!
What is the type of electricity that electrons build up on an object?
static electricity
What do you get when a large build up of electrons jump?
Electricity is created by the movement of electrons in a particular direction. A large jump of electrons results in sparks, or even lightning.
Why doesn't wood and metal attract to electricity?
Static electricity is a build up of electrons. Static means still or stationary. Electrons on metal can not be stationary as the metal is such a good conductor of electricity. To remove static electricity after dragging your feet on a nylon carpet just touch a metal appliance or pipe eg a tap. Wood is generally porous so electrons again do not build up but ebony will build a static charge as it is a very dense wood. Electrons build up on plastic as it is a poor conductor. The electrons are static and a charge builds. Static electricity is caused by electrons being knocked off or building up on objects that are not normally good conductors.

What causes static elecircity?
Usually static electricity is caused by a build up of electrons on the surface of an object
