You rub a balloon in your hair. Then the balloon can stick to a wall. The balloon acquires a charge through .?

The balloon acquires a charge through the transfer of electrons. When the balloon is rubbed against the hair, electrons are transferred from the hair to the balloon, giving the balloon a negative charge. This negative charge allows the balloon to stick to the wall due to the attraction between the negatively charged balloon and the positively charged wall.
