An atom of oxygen has 8 protons and 10 electrons, this means the atom is ____________

negatively charged because it has excess electrons

positively charged because it has excess electrons

positively charged because it has a deficiency of electrons

negatively charged because it has a deficiency of electrons

What is the end result of charging by contact?

Both object have the same charge, so they will repel one another

Both object have the same charge, so they will attract one another

Both object have the opposite charge, so they will attract one another

Both object have the opposite charge, so they will repel one another

When two objects are rubbed together, there is a transfer of electrons. How do you determine which object acquires the transferred electrons?

Transfer is based on how much electron affinity that each object has

Always transfer from the bigger to the smaller object, to make it even

Transfer is based on the initial charge of the two objects

Always transfer from the more negative to the more positive object

When a charged object contacts another object (one is usually a conductor), there is a transfer of electrons. How do you determine which object acquires the transferred electrons?

Always transfer from the more negative to the more positive object

Always transfer from the bigger to the smaller object, to make it even

Transfer is based on the initial charge of the two objects

Transfer is based on how much electron affinity that each object has

When you brush your hair you scrape off electrons, and your hair

becomes positively and negatively charged

As a pair of charges is brought close together, the force between them

Increases only if they are the same sign

Increases only if they are the opposite sign

When you brush your hair you scrape off electrons, and your hair

becomes positively and negatively charged

As a pair of charges is brought close together, the force between them

Increases only if they are the same sign

Increases only if they are the opposite sign

When a plastic rod is rubbed with wool, the wool acquires a positive charge because

electrons are transferred from the wool to the rod

protons are transferred from the wool to the rod

protons are transferred from the rod to the wool

electrons are transferred from the rod to the wool

Use the following information to answer the question: Object A is NEGATIVELY charged. Object A and Object B attract. Object B and Object C repel. Object C and Object D attract. What type of charge could Object D possess?

Positive or Negative or Neutral

What is the triboelectric series?

A list of materials arranged by strength of electron affinity

Like the World Series: objects compete for electrons

A series of events that create a static charge

A number to show how well an object conducts electrons

When you brush your hair you scrape off electrons, and your hair

becomes positively and negatively charged

As a pair of charges is brought close together, the force between them

Increases only if they are the same sign

Increases only if they are the opposite sign

When a plastic rod is rubbed with wool, the wool acquires a positive charge because

electrons are transferred from the wool to the rod

protons are transferred from the wool to the rod

protons are transferred from the rod to the wool

electrons are transferred from the rod to the wool

Use the following information to answer the question: Object A is NEGATIVELY charged. Object A and Object B attract. Object B and Object C repel. Object C and Object D attract. What type of charge could Object D possess?

Positive or Negative or Neutral
