they are neutral. they don't posses any free electron or holes in them, that quality of them makes insulation

What are some insulators and conductors?
Insulators are like rubber and wood because insulators that stops the flow of electrical charge. Conducts are the opposite so the items would be metal .
How can you create a static charge on an insulator?
If they are made of different materials and are both insulators.
Are materials that can be statically charged conductors or insulators?
Either one can acquire a static charge.
Can the electrostatic charge be stored if how?
It's always stored unless it's conducted away. Thus all insulators have & hold a static charge.
Why does the amount of static charge continue to increase on a glass surface as you rub it?
Glass is an insulator and will not allow excess charge to leave, as insulators prevent electrons from flowing freely from atom to atom.

What is electrostatic charges?
Charge can also be present on insulators and because these materials do not allow the charge to flow, this is called electrostatic charge
Can charge flow easily through insulators?
"Insulator" means that electrical charge can NOT flow through it easily.
What kind of materials can become electrically charge when they are rubbed together?
Insulators
A collection of charge is in one place that is not moving is called what?
For many materials such as balloons, the charge stays in one spot where you rub the object. Such materials fit into a class called insulators. The answer to your question is: insulators or insulation.

What is a substance that does not allow electricity to pass through it easily?
Insulators - they cannot allow electricity to flow through them as they have no mobile charge carriers present. Insulators - they cannot allow electricity to flow through them as they have no mobile charge carriers present.

Does your hair have a negative or positive charge?
Niether. Our hair are electrically neutral as they are insulators. However by friction, it is possible to charge them either positive or negative.
