Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a balloon is rubbed against a sweater, electrons (which are negatively charged particles) are transferred from one material to the other, depending on the nature of the materials. This process does not involve the destruction or release of charged particles, nor does it typically involve the movement of positively charged particles (protons) because they are bound within the atomic nucleus.
