If you rub a balloon with wool does it become negatively or positively charged?

It becomes negatively charged because Wool readily gives away its electrons.


A balloon becomes negatively charged when rubbed against someone's sleevehow does it becomes charged?

Friction from rubbing the balloon on a sleeve creates static electricy,therefore the balloon becomes negatively charged.


Are electrons positively charged or negatively?

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.


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.


A balloon will stick to a wooden wall if the balloon is charged?

either negatively or positively charged.


What statement is made by a cloud of negatively charged electrons?

First, all electrons are negatively charged. Second, electrons can not talk.


Negatively charged particles?

Electrons are the negatively charged particles in atoms. This is not an entertainment and arts question.


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.


What type of electrons will a negatively charged atom have?

All electrons are the same. A negatively charged atom would be an anion.


Negatively charged particles in the outer most energy level?

A negatively charged atom is a electron.


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.
