Polythene has a higher tendency to gain electrons from other materials due to its structure, making it easier to become negatively charged when rubbed. Copper, on the other hand, has a more stable electron configuration and lower affinity for gaining or losing electrons, making it harder to charge through rubbing.

Why does copper carbonate decompose to make copper 2 oxide not copper 1 oxide?
Because it is easier. The molecular formula of copper carbonate is CuCO3. When it decomposes it loses a CO2 molecule. If it became Copper 1 oxide(Cu2O then it would have to combine with another molecule(releasing O). Instead it becames copper2 oxide(CuO) because that is an easier transition.
Why are copper wires and not steel wires used in electric circuits although both are copper and steel are electoral conductors?
copper is cheaper to manufacture and easier to bend then steel
Why must copper be heated before it can be made into anything?
it must be heated to before it can be made into something because copper is a solid form at room temperature if you were to put it into a liquid for it would be easier to form, such as a square, or a triangle.
What happens if water is added to a copper ore?
The copper will explode ??? * it gets wet * the copper ore goes through several stages of hydration as the water is absorbed, changing its crystal structure. This is a form of structural change but I've never seen it explode.
If you needed to use powdered copper (II) sulfate in an experiment and were only supplied with clumps of copper (II) sulfate which tool would you need to convert the copper sulfate to usable form?
You would need to use a mortar and pestle to grind the clumps of copper (II) sulfate into a fine powder, making it easier to use in your experiment.
How does insulator get charge by rubbing easier than conductor?
When insulators are rubbed, charges are transferred through a process called triboelectric charging. Insulators have high electron affinities, making it easier for them to gain or lose electrons during rubbing. Conduction, on the other hand, requires mobile electrons which are more restricted in insulators compared to conductors.
How do you make sliding doors slide easier?
By rubbing the track with soap or wax
Will objects float better in rubbing alcohol or water?
Objects will float better in rubbing alcohol than in water because rubbing alcohol has a lower density than water. This means that objects will displace less liquid in rubbing alcohol, making it easier for them to float.
Why is it easier to make musical instruments from brass instead of copper?
Actually, copper is softer than brass, and easier to work. The reason musical instruments are made from brass instead of pure copper is because that alloy with zinc is much more durable than copper alone, and does not as readily corrode.
Is PVC a better choose over copper for water lines?
Pvc can be clear and makes it easier when trying to spot blockage problems. Also, it is easier to install and work with. It tends to last longer then copper.
Why is it easy to charge a non conductor although it is with the hands?
It is easier to charge no-conductors with the hands because the charge generated will not be discharged through our bodies.
The compound CuCl2 is named copperII chloride explain why a roman numeral is used in one name but not the other?
In the chemical formula CuCl2 it is obvious for a neutral ionic substance that copper has a +2 charge, since Cl only comes in -1 charge, but in the stock name of copper chloride, it is unclear whether it is CuCl2 you are talking about or CuCl, which has a +1 Copper, thus in the name, the charge of the metal is differentiated by the roman numeral in parenthesis after the metal. This stock system (using numerals) is much easier to read than the previous traditional system of naming the higher charge metal with the -ic ending and the lower charged metal with the -ous ending, where CuCl2 and CuCl would be cupric chloride and cuprous chloride, respectively.
Why do we use copper in wires than gold?
Copper is much more abundant in the Earth's crust than gold is. It's also easier to mine.
Why is it easier to make musical insruments with brass than copper?
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, which makes it more malleable and easier to work with than pure copper. The addition of zinc gives brass enhanced workability, corrosion resistance, and acoustic properties that make it a popular material for crafting musical instruments.
Why is rotor in energy meter made of aluminum why not copper?
Aluminum is much lighter than copper and has a lower conductivity which makes it easier for it to create more force. It is also much cheaper than copper.
What is the difference between the systematic and common name for monatomic ions?
Some positively charged monotomic ions, such as iron and copper ions can have more than one charge. For example, iron ions can have a charge of 2+ or 3+, and copper ions can have a charge of 1+ or 2+. Today, in the systematic method of naming, we would call them iron (II) and iron (III) ions; and copper (I) and copper (II) ions. In the past, however, they were called (and sometimes still are) ferrous ions and ferric ions; and cuprous and cupric ions, respectively. Using the systematic method of identifying the ion with its charge is better, because you don't have to remember which ion is -ous, and which ion is -ic. This makes it much easier to write chemical formulas using these types of ions.
Why does sulphuric acid have to be warm to be used in the copper oxide reaction?
Because copper isn't reactive enough to displace hydrogen if the solution is cool or cold. It becomes easier for copper to replace the hydrogen when the solution is warm.
