Acetate loses electrons, and the hair gains electrons. So acetate is negatively charged, meaning that the hair is positively charged.

Number of electrons gained or lost in silicon?
it gains 4
How many electrons does a sulfur atom gain when it becomes an sulfide ion?
Sulpher gains two electrons as it is in group 6 and to be stable it would obviously need two more electrons.. :)
When a plastic rod is rubbed with a cloth the plastic rod gains what?
The plastic rod gains static electricity.
Does bromine lose or gain electrons?
it gains electrons.
What happens to the neutrally charged object if it gains electrons?
It gains electrons!
How many electrons do hydrogen gains or lost?
Hydrogen shares its electrons to complete the octate so it gains 1 electrons. it can also its electrons.
When a substances gains electrons is it reduced?
Yes when any substance gains electrons , that substance is now then reduced.
What does an atom become if it gains or loses electrons?
An atom becomes an ion if it gains or loses electrons.
What happens to a perspex rod when it is rubbed by a duster?
Both are originally have equal electrons and protons. After rubbing, electrons move to the duster, from the rod. The duster, as it gains electrons, has more electrons than protons, therefore becoming negatively charged. The rod, losing electrons, becomes negatively charged. then, the rod is able to momentarily pick up little bits of paper for short periods at a time.
Why does a balloon stick to the wall after it is rubbed on polymer?
The idea is that the balloon gains electric charge.
What happens when an element gains electrons?
If a neutral atom gains one or more electrons, then it will have a negative change. If a positive atom gains electrons, it will have an increase in change, but the charge may be negative, neutral, or positive based on the initial charge and number of electrons gained. The process in which an atom gains electrons is known as reduction.
A material has a net charge because it?
A net charge results when an atom gains or loses electrons. If it loses electrons, it gains a positive charge, if it gains them, it gains a net negative charge.
When this element gains 2 electrons it has the electron configuration of the noble gas Argon?
The element is sulfur with 16 electrons. It gains two electrons to form sulfide ion which has 18 electrons as that of argon.
Do oxygen gain or lose electrons?
Oxygen is an oxidizer, it will gain electrons in a reaction to complete it's valence shell.
