100
This is the positively charged part of an atom.
What is the nucleus?
100
This is what happens to electrons when two oppositely charged objects are held close together.
What is the extra electrons jump between the objects?
100
This is how a positively charged atom could be described.
What is an atom that has more positive particles than negative particles?
100
This is the word to describe when two objects push apart from each other.
What is repel?
100
Metals are an example of this.
What is a conductor?
200
This is a word to describe when two objects "pull together".
What is attract?
200
This is caused by an imbalance of electrons.
What is static electricity?
200
This is what can happen to create a balance, or uncharged object.
What is electrons can be gained or released?
200
This is the build up of electricity between two objects.
What is static electricity?
200
These block the flow of electrons through them.
What is an insulator?
300
This is the negative part of an atom.
What is an electron.
300
This is what causes two objects to be attracted to each other.
What is an imbalance of electrons?
300
These are the particles that circle the nucleus of an atom.
What are electrons?
300
This would describe an atom that has an equal amount of positive and negative charged particles.
What is uncharged?
300
Water is an example of this.
What is a fair conductor?
400
These allow the flow of electricity through them.
What is a conductor?
400
This is what causes two objects to repel each other.
What is both objects have the same charge?
400
- - This is the word that could describe the atom to the ++ left. - -
What is a negatively charged atom.
400
This would describe an atom that had two positively charged particles, and four negatively charged particles.
What is a negative charge?
400
Rubber and wood are an example of this.
What is an insulator.
500
This is the word we use to describe sending extra electrons through a conductor into the earth.
What is ground?
500
This is what the transfer of electrons between objects is called.
What is a discharge?
500
This is what causes electricity.
What is the movement of electrons between atoms.
500
This word describes an atom that has an unequal amount of positive and negative particles.
What is imbalanced?
500
This describes current electricity.
What is the movement of electrons through a conductor.
