Can a lead balloon float?

No... it wouldn't even survive the conditions of the upper atmosphere, unless it was a very tough balloon.. even if it could I'm assuming eventually the atmosphere would reduce to a point where it was as dense as helium or hydrogen (the gas I'm assuming would make your balloon float) and your balloon would stop anyway at a maximum altitude. Either way.. after that, the balloon would have to break away from Earth's gravity (not easy) and then somehow cover 382500km or so to get to the Moon itself..

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.
