When you rub a red balloon on your hair electrons rub off the balloon and it becomes?

What happens when you rub a balloon on your hair?

Your hair gives off electrons to the balloon and when you put the balloon close to your hair, it will go up and you can hear the static electricity.

Why does a balloon stick to the wall when you rub it on your head?

electrons are transferred from your hair to the balloon . so ballon gets a negative charge . so there is a transfer of energy when you rub your hair with balloon and static electricity is producedP.S. : HAIR SHOULD BE DRY

How do you make your own hair tie?

To make your own rubber hair tie, you need a balloon and scissors. First, cut the top off of the balloon. Discard the top of the balloon. Now, cut the balloon neck into strips about 1 cm thick. You can use these strips as hair ties, or rubber bands.

Paper hop project?

Paper Hop Problem: How can we show that atoms have positive and negative charges? Hypothesis: If we can rub some electrons off an item, and make it positively charged, then it will stick to an item of the opposite charge. Materials: piece of notebook paper, paper hole puncher, small balloon, clean hair Procedure: 1. Use the hole punch to cut about 15-20 small circles from the piece of paper. 2. Spread the pieces on a table. 3. Inflate the balloon and tie it. 4. Rub the balloon against your hair about five strokes. 6. Hold the balloon close to, but not touching, the paper circles. Observations: The paper circles jump to the balloon. Conclusion: Paper is an example of matter, and all matter is made up of atoms. Each atom has a positive center with negatively charged electrons spinning around outside. The balloon rubs the electrons off of the hair, giving the balloon an excess of negative charges. The positive part of the paper circles is attracted to the excessive negative charge on the balloon. This attraction between the positive and negative charge is great enough to overcome the force of gravity and the circles will hop upward toward the balloon.

Does the color of the hair affect how much static electricity it can carry?

A charged object will attract an object that is neutral. Think about how you can make a balloon stick to a wool sweater. If you charge a balloon by rubbing it on your hair, it picks up extra electrons and has a negative charge. Holding it near a neutral object will make the charges in that object move. If it is a conductor, many electrons move easily to the other side, as far from the balloon as possible. If it is an insulator, the electrons in the atoms and molecules can only move very slightly to one side, away from the balloon. In either case, there are more positive charges closer to the negative balloon. Opposites attract. The balloon sticks. (At least until the electrons on the balloon slowly leak off.) It works the same way for neutral and positively charged objects. So what does all this have to do with static shocks? Or static electricity in hair? When you take off your wool hat, it rubs against your hair. Electrons move from your hair to the hat. A static charge builds up and now each of the hairs has the same positive charge. Remember, things with the same charge repel each other. So the hairs try to get as far from each other as possible. The farthest they can get is by standing up and away from the others. And that is how static electricity causes a bad hair day! (Get tips on how to eliminate static electricity problems in your home or office.) As you walk across a carpet, electrons move from the rug to you. Now you have extra electrons and a negative static charge. Touch a door knob and ZAP! The door knob is a conductor. The electrons jump from you to the knob, and you feel the static shock. We usually only notice static electricity in the winter when the air is very dry. During the summer, the air is more humid. The water in the air helps electrons move off you more quickly, so you can not build up as big a static charge.

What is the two ways that a charged body can be discharged?

The two ways to charge a neutral body with static electricity is to dump a bunch of electrons onto it, thus making it negative, or attracting a bunch of electrons off of it, which will make it positive. There are several mechanisms that will allow us to do this. Just one example is to rub a balloon on your hair (if your hair is relatively dry) and you'll separate charges. This will cause the balloon to stick to your hair via the mechanism of static electricity.

When a polythene rod is rubbed with a duster it becomes negatively charged . why?

Because electrons are rubbed off the cloth and build up on the polythene.

What happens when an atom loses an electron from its outer most shell?

well The electrons on that shell have nowhere to go so they jump off and become ionised

How does a neutral atom become a negative ion?

The positivity and negativity of an ion is determined by the number of electrons compared to that of protons. If there are more electrons than protons in the ion, it is considered negative. It becomes negative by gaining electrons, which can happen a number of ways. Simply put, most often it gains electrons by pulling them off of other elements and molecules. The more electronegative an element is, the easier it is for it to do this. Elements are most stable in their "octet" configuration where all of the available spots in an orbital are filled. Elements with less than a perfect octet will rip electrons off of other things.

What happens to an atom if there is an excess or a shortage of electrons?

they become dormant, the bond receiving the given off atom becomes stable

When the balloon is up in the air the burner is turned off and the balloon drifts along with the wind What will eventually happen to the air inside the balloon?

The air in the balloon will cool , and the balloon will start to decend.

Why didnt Dorothy leave in the balloon with oz?

Toto juped out and she had to go get him. By then, the balloon was gone.
