When objects gain or lose electrons they become static electricity?

For example as glass rob is rubbed with silk then glass becomes positively charged and silk negatively charged. This is mainly because of the transfer of electrons right from glass to silk. But in case of ebonite rod rubbed with fur electrons get transferred from fur to ebonite. So ebonite becomes negatively charged and fur positive charged
Now in case of an atom or molecule one or more electrons get removed and so that atom or molecules become a positive ion. Same way as electron gets attached with a neutral atom then it becomes negative ion.

When electrons move from one object another they become what with static electricity?
They become charges
How is static electricity the same as current electricity?
It isn't the same. Static electricity is created by friction between two objects, and current electricity is a flow of continuos movement of electrons. Hope this helps!
Does static electricity affect objects?
Yes, static electricity does affect objects.
Why doesn't wood and metal attract to static 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 is static electricity and current electricity?
current electricity is where electrons flow through a conductor.static electricity electrons do not flow
How does static electricity occurs?
static electricity occurs when objects gain electrons
How is static electricity differes from current electricity?
Static electricity is the BUILT UP STORE of electron charges [e-] between a pair of objects, while current electricity is the FLOW of electrons between these objects. Static electricity is a transfer of charge from one static body to another, resulting in an imbalance in positive and negative charges, while electric current is the flow of electrons, from one static body to another.
When electrons move from one to another they become what with static electricity?

Is static electricity made up of electrons that are not moving?
Static electricity is made up of electrons and protons that are not moving.
What is the type of electricity that electrons build up on an object?
static electricity
