∙ 13y agoThe positively charged rod has a lack of electrons (which are negative). A neutral metal ball has a balanced number of electrons.
When the two objects are brought near to each other, the positive charge of the ball will be repelled (sent in the opposite direction of the rod) and the negative charge of the ball will be attracted to the rod.
Negative charge from the ball will pass from the ball to the rod, which may produce a spark.

∙ 13y agoWhen the negatively charged rubber rod touches a neutral object, such as a metal washer, some electrons move from the rod to the object. The movable electrons inthe washer will be repelled. giving it a positive charge.

Is iron sulfide covalent?
its ionic, as iron is positively charged metal and sulfate is a negatively charged nonmetal.
Is metallic bonding an attraction of positive and negative ions?
Metallic bonding is the attraction between positively charged metal ions and free (negatively charged) electrons.
What does an ionic compound usually contain besides a positively charged metal ion?
A negatively charged ion. Often a halogen. Like NaCl = Na+Cl- KBr = K+Br-
What do metals become after the donate electrons?
Metal --> electrons + Metal ions (positively charged)
What happens when a metal atom 'meets' a nonmetal atom?
When metals and non-metals come in contact with one another -metal atoms lose electrons to form positively charged ionsnon-metal atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged ions
What happens to non metal in an ionic bond?
It accepts electrons from the metal and forms a negatively charged ion
What happens when you bring a negatively charged rod near a piece of metal?
Uncharged means that there are an equal number of protons and electrons. When the negative rod is held near the neutral metal ball, the electrons from the metal ball repel from the electrons on the rod bringing the protons closer to the rod causing the metal ball to be attracted to the negatively charged rod. It's called charging by induction.
What happens to metals in ionic bonding?
Metals lose electrons to become positively charged but stable. The electrons they lose are accepted by the non-metal to become negatively charged but stable.
What type of reaction happens when a metal gain oxygens?
It is an oxidation/reduction reaction. The metal loses electrons to become positively charged (it is oxidized) and the oxygen gains those electrons to become negatively charged (it is reduced). You end up with a metal oxide.
When a metal meets a nonmetal the nonmetal atom becomes what?
Negatively charged.
How do you recognize the difference between the ion charge of a metal and the non metal?
Metal ions are typically positively charged, while nonmetals are typically negatively charged.
What would be attracted toward a negatively charged sheet of metal?
An Alpha particle
The metal rod becomes negatively charged as well through which process?
conduction
How do you diferrentiate metal and non metal based on their ionic state?
Monatomic ions of metals are positively charged and monatomic ions of nonmetals are negatively charged.
What is the makeup of an ionic compound?
an ionic compound is made of positively charged metal ions and negatively charged non-metal ions. they usually form an ionic lattice.
In ionic bonds what happens to the electrons?
The electrons are shared between the atoms. An ionic bond occurs between a metal and a non-metal. The metal donates one or more electrons to the non-metal, causing the metal to have a positive charge. When the non-metal accepts the electrons, it becomes negatively charged, thus resulting in an attraction between the two charged ions, and forming a bond.
Would a negatively charged balloon stick to a metal wall as easily as to a wooden wall?
Yes, because metal conduct electricity.
