When you rub a balloon onto your hair or piece of clothing, the balloon collects the electrons (negative charge) from the hair or clothing you rubbed it on. The balloon now has more electrons (negative charge) than protons (positive charge) making it have a negative charge. The hair or clothing has more protons than electrons making it have a positive charge.

Depends what you rub it against and according to the Electrostatic Series.

If you rub a balloon against a piece of nylon, nylon is higher up on the electrostatic series therefore it will have a positive charge and the balloon will have a negative charge

Rubber objects (such as the balloon) would collect electrons and become negatively charged. Rubber objects (such as the balloon) would collect electrons and become negatively charged.

Positive. The atoms are both negative. Two N's = P.

Yes, the difference between the negative and positive results in the final charge. So if you have three more electrons than protons, then you would have a charge of -3.

What happens when a balloon with a negative charge is brought to the surface of a wall?

i dont know ask your friends at school. if your old, live with it. A Negative Charge or a collection of negative charges will repel other negative charges. A negatively charged balloon will therefore repel those few negative charges in a wall that are capable of moving a little bit. That area of the wall close to the negatively charged balloon will therefore become positively charged. A positively charged wall will attract a negatively charged balloon and the two will stick together.
