Insulators
They acquire a charge from somewhere else.
Materials can become electrically charged by gaining or losing electrons. When an object gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged, and when it loses electrons, it becomes positively charged. This imbalance of electrons creates an electric charge on the material.
by gaining or losing electrons.
Objects that have asymmetrical distribution of charge, such as molecules with a permanent dipole moment or materials with aligned dipoles, can be electrically polarized. Examples include water molecules, certain crystals like quartz, and some ceramic materials.
When an atom or group of atoms becomes electrically charged, it is referred to as an ion. If it has a positive charge (+) it is called a cation, and if it has a negative charge (-), it is called an anion.
The object with zero charge is electrically neutral.
Plastic wraps often carry a negative charge due to the process of triboelectric charging, where materials become electrically charged through friction. When the plastic wrap comes into contact with other materials, it can lose electrons, resulting in a net negative charge. This negative charge can cause the wrap to cling to surfaces and other materials, making it effective for sealing and covering. Additionally, the molecular structure of the plastic can influence its ability to gain or lose electrons during such interactions.
No. Ions of opposite charges come together to form electrically neutral compounds. A compound cannot carry an electric charge.
well not many things can be ELECTRICALLY CHRAGED. lik wood holds about 12% of wood and 0% of eletricaty
No; the name "neutron" is derived from its elecrical charge, which is zero (i.e., it is electrically neutral).No; the name "neutron" is derived from its elecrical charge, which is zero (i.e., it is electrically neutral).No; the name "neutron" is derived from its elecrical charge, which is zero (i.e., it is electrically neutral).No; the name "neutron" is derived from its elecrical charge, which is zero (i.e., it is electrically neutral).
Neutrons do not have an electric charge and are considered electrically neutral particles. They are composed of three quarks (two down quarks and one up quark) held together by the strong nuclear force.
It will still have a electrical charge.
