Why does an negativity charged balloon stick to a wall?
When you rub the balloon on your hair, or on another similar surface, the balloon becomes negatively charged. The wall itself doesn't have any particular charge, and doesn't conduct electricity. When you place the balloon on the wall, the molecules in the wall polarize, that is, positive and negative charges in the molecule separate and go to opposite sides of the molecule. Opposite charges attract, and like charges repel, and since the negative charges in the molecules are pushed away from the balloon and the positive ones are pulled towards it, the attraction force is greater than the repulsion force and the balloon is held to the wall.
Why a charged balloon does notattract a person's hair if the balloon is far from person's head?
The electric Field repels it but the positively charged balloon is attracted to the negatively charged hair. (opposites attract)
Why a balloon now negatively charged?
When you rub a balloon onto your hair or piece of clothing, the balloon collects the electrons (negative charge) from the hair or clothing you rubbed it on. The balloon now has more electrons (negative charge) than protons (positive charge) making it have a negative charge. The hair or clothing has more protons than electrons making it have a positive charge.
What will happen to the electrons in a neutral object if a negatively charged balloon is brought near the object?
The electrons are repelled by the negatively charged balloon.
How can you charge a balloon?
it has a positive charge so the negative item attract to it if it is light enough
How can you use a balloon with a negative charge to find out whether the charge on another balloon is positive or negative?
You can tell if the negative balloon attracts or repels the other balloon. If it attracts the balloon then it is a positive balloon. If it repels the balloon then it is a negative balloon.

How might you use a balloon with a negative charge to find out whether the charge on another balloon is positive or negative?
If you move a negatively-charged balloon close to another balloon, if it moves towards the first balloon, it is positively-charged. If it moves away, it is negatively charged.

Why does rubbing your hair with a balloon cause static electricity?
This has to do with the charge of the objects. Positively charged items stick to negatively charged items (think "opposites attract"). Though objects like hair and balloons are generally neutral (without a charge) and do not attract anything, this can be changed through the transfer of electrons. Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles that can be transferred between items through contact. When you rub a balloon on your hair, the contact between your hair and the balloon allows electrons to be transferred, known as the triboelectric effect. Some materials are more likely to gain electrons and become more negative, while others are more likely to lose electrons and become more positive. In the case of hair and a balloon, the electrons are transferred from your hair to the balloon, so the balloon becomes negative. Now that electrons have been transferred, your hair and the balloon are of opposite charged and attract one another; therefore, your hair sticks to the balloon. Before the balloon contacts the hair, they both have a stable balance of electrons and protons. Once the balloon is rubbed on the hair, it takes electrons from the hair. Thus leaving the hair positively charged and the balloon negatively charged. Once the balloon is pulled away the hair sticks to it. This happens because opposite charges attract and since the hair was positively charged, and the balloon is negatively charged, they attract.
What is the charge to the balloon?
it has a positive charge so the negative item attract to it if it is light enough

How can a positive balloon stick to a neutral wall?
All matter contains positive protons and negative electrons. When you bring a positively charged balloon close to a neutral wall, the wall becomes polarized. The electrons in atoms move colser to the balloon, making the near side of the wall seem negatively charged and farther components seem positive charged. This has a net attractive force on the balloon.
What would happen if a negatively charged balloon touched metal?
Opposite charges attract each other. It makes no difference what kind of objects happen to be carrying the charges.
What happens when a balloon with a negative charge is brought to the surface of a wall?
i dont know ask your friends at school. if your old, live with it. A Negative Charge or a collection of negative charges will repel other negative charges. A negatively charged balloon will therefore repel those few negative charges in a wall that are capable of moving a little bit. That area of the wall close to the negatively charged balloon will therefore become positively charged. A positively charged wall will attract a negatively charged balloon and the two will stick together.
What will happen to the electrons in a neutral object if a negatively charged balloon is brought near the object?
The electrons are repelled by the negatively charged balloon.
