What else can I help you with?
What can you infer about any object that give you static shock when you touch it?
its a conductor
What kind of charge does an object that has an excess of electrons have?
negative
When you scuff electrons off a rug with your shoes your shoes are then what?
Your shoes become negatively charged because they gain extra electrons when they rub against the rug, causing them to have an excess of negative charge.
What kind of charge does an object that has excess of electrons have?
negative
How does an object gain a negative charge?
An object gains a negative charge by gaining an excess of electrons. When an object either gains electrons from another object or loses protons, it can become negatively charged.
What is rapid movement of excess electrons from one place to another?
electricity.
What is the rapid movement of excess electrons from place to another?
electric discharge
Radioactive isotopes have excess electrons?
No (this is valid for neutral atoms); anions have excess electrons.

What happens when there are too many electrons?
When there are too many electrons, an object can become negatively charged. This excess of electrons can cause repulsion between objects with the same charge, or attract objects with a positive charge. In extreme cases, such as lightning, the excess electrons can result in the discharge of electrical energy.
Describe how electrons travel when a positively charged object is grounded.?
When a positively charged object is grounded, electrons from the ground are free to move onto the object. These electrons neutralize the positive charge by transferring to the positively charged object, allowing the excess electrons on the object to flow into the ground. This flow of electrons equalizes the charge between the object and the ground.
Does grounding have an effect on charged objects?
Grounding is the process of removing the excess charge on an object by means of the transfer of electrons between it and another object of substantial size. When a charged object is grounded, the excess charge is balanced by the transfer of electrons between the charged object and a ground. A ground is simply an object which serves as a seemingly infinite reservoir of electrons; the ground is capable of transferring electrons to or receiving electrons from a charged object in order to neutralize that object.
What is in a negatively charged rod?
A negatively charged rod typically contains an excess of electrons, which are negatively charged subatomic particles. This accumulation of electrons can result from processes such as friction, where electrons are transferred from one material to another. The excess negative charge gives the rod its ability to attract positively charged objects or repel other negatively charged objects.
