Why might a plastic rod that cobtains mulriple electrons not have a charge?

Plastic is an isalator so, it does not let the electrons move around freely to produce a stactic charge

What happens when electrons gain its charge?
Electrons always have their charge, when atoms gain electrons, they become ions.
Does neon have 10 electrons and a negative charge?
No, Neon does have 10 electrons but it has no charge
What is the total charge if you have 14 protons 14 neutrons and 12 electrons?
If the atom is stable and neutral, it will have 14 electrons. If it has a positive charge it will have less electrons, and if it has a negative charge it will have more electrons.
Is it true that an electrons has a negative charge?
Electrons have a negative charge. Protons have a positive charge, and neutrons have a neutral charge. Added: Electrons always have a negative charge, value: minus 1.602*10-19 Coulomb.
Are electrons positively charged?
Electrons are negatively charged, protons are positively charge and neutrons have no charge.
Will a plastic comb with extra electrons have a positive charge?
No the answer is that it has an negitive charge
If a plastic ruler is rubbed with a cloth does the ruler obtain a positive charge?
Because electrons will be transferred from the cloth to the insulating rod. But the charge will be negative.
Why it is easy to charge polythene by rubbing but not copper?
When you rub plastic, you transfer electrons from one material to the other. ... Because plastic is an insulator, the electrons cannot flow through it so they effectively get stuck there they are static
What charge is electrons?
Electrons charge is a negative
What kind of charge does electrons have?
Electrons have a negative charge.
What type of charge do the electrons have?
Electrons have a negative charge.
What kind of charge does electrons?
Electrons have a negative charge.
What charges do proton an electrons have?
Pprotons have a positive charge neutrons have no charge and electrons have a negative charge. However the one with the smallest mass is electrons.
Why do electrons not have a charge?
They do have a charge, it's negative
How does the charge of electrons differs from the charge of proton?
Electrons have negative charge and protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge.
What are the charging of protons electrons and neutrons?
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge.
Why does an electric discharge occur?
It is because there are a build up of electrons on a material. If it is static it can be plastic or paper etc . The electrons are surplus to atomic requirements of the material so a negative charge will build up. If the charge is big enough the electrons will try and find a positive source to neutralise the charge. The only thing stopping it from doing so is the insulating material such as air
