An insulator

∙ 6y agoElectrons are the only charged particles that can move because they move from 1 object to another object like for example your hair and a balloon if you rub the balloon to your hair your hair becomes a positive charge (because your hair lost electrons)while the balloon becomes a negative charge(because it is gaining electrons).

Why is destilled water a bad conductor?
Water itself does not conduct electricity. However, when ionic particles like salts dissolve in water, the cation (such as Sodium) and anion (such as Chloride) separate. These different ions carry different charges (since the Sodium gave one negatively charged electron to the chloride in order for the two to be stable). When these charged particles are present in water, an electric current applied to it can have the electrons flowing through the water via those particles, thus completing the circuit and conducting electricity. Distilled water has been purified so no dissolved particles exist in it, so there is nothing that can conduct the electricity.
How do you get static on your fingers?
By 'rubbing' electrons from an object to you (making you negatively charged) these electrons will pass through you when you touch something to get to earth . this feeling you would know as the static in your fingers.
What would happen if an atom had a negatively charged nucleus?
It would be a positively charged ion, and would react with negatively charged ions having more electrons than protons. A simple example: table salt: sodium chloride. The positive sodium ion is attracted to the negative chloride ion. This is a common occurrence between atoms that easily donate or receive electrons, and form what are called ionic bonds.
What is the continuous flow of electric charges through a material?
Yes, an electric current is the flow of charged particles.
Why does radiation usually transfer through a gas more easily than through solids or liquids?
Gas is much less dense than liquids or solids, which means that it has fewer particles (the particles generally being atoms or molecules) per unit volume, than there are in the denser materials. Hence, if something is travelling through a gas it is not going to hit as many particles a it would if it were travelling through a liquid or solid. And any time a photon hits another particle, it may be absorbed, or reflected, or defelcted in some manner by that particle.
Negativley charged particles move easily through what materials?
conductors
What is a material through which negatively charged particles flow easily?
A material through which negatively charged particles flow easily is called a conductor. Conductor materials have a large number of free electrons that are able to move within the material, allowing the easy flow of electric current. Examples of good conductors include metals like copper, aluminum, and silver.
Why do atoms have no electric charge even through most of there particles have charges?
A neutral atom has equal numbers of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons.
Electrically charged particles move through materials that are classified as electrical conductors?
Electrons. A current.
What is a materials that does not let electricity flow through it?
Many materials are packed full of easily-movable charged particles. Any material that does not contain easily-movable charged particles is called an "insulator". Charged particles do not flow through an insulator. Common insulators are rubber, plastic, nylon and air. (Rubber, plastic, and nylon are packed full of charged particles, but those particles are "bound" into a solid, unmoving configuration. The particles in air are easily-movable, but they are practically all uncharged particles -- and also there are so few of them that air is mostly empty space compared to solids).
Is bacteria negatively charged or positively charged?
I would say, bacteria is positively charged. i suspected it was positively charged also may be, however; if it were to be negatively charged, could it still adsorb through a reversal process to a negative surface (clay for example?)
The metal rod becomes negatively charged as well through which process?
conduction
What can move through empty space?
Charged particles.
Can be attracted by a positively charged object?
A negatively charged object. Also, a neutral object, through an induced separation of charges.

What do alpha particles leave charged in their path when they travel through matter?
Charged ions
