Atoms
ELECTRONS
Materials that tend to lose electrons
Skin, Glass, Hair and Nylon
just heat creation, no electricity, same electron affinity.
Elements that are shiny, ductible, maleable, good heat and electrical conductors
METALS
Subatomic particles with neutral electrical charge
NEUTRONS
Material that tend to gain electrons
Teflon, Plstic Wrap, ebonite, Amber, Wood
Charging 2 objects by frictioning them against each other
Static Charging
Elements that dont react easily, usually being incredibly stable in environmental conditions
NOBLE GASES
Subatomic particles with positive electrical charge
PROTONS
Tendency of a substance to hold on to its electrons
Electron affinity
Charging an object by touching with another one with a surplus or defict of electrons
Contact charging
Elements with erractic and intermediary characteristics in the midle of the peiodic table
METALLOIDS
Region of the atoms that concentrates the majority of its mass
NUCLEUS
Hability of a material to allow electrons to move freely through and in them.
Conductivity
Charging an object by reorganizing its electrons to the effects of a nearby electromagnetic field
Induction charging
ELements that are britle, dull, bad electrical and heat conductors
NON-METALS
Name given to any chemical specimen with a difference betwenn it's numbers electrons and protons
ION
Name give to the kind of material that resist or blocks the movement of eletrons in and through them
Insulator
What is grounding?
Process of connecting a charged object to earth's surface, providing a path for the charge fluctuation to travel to a infinitely bigger mass.
NAme given to the elements in the middle of the periodic table, between the groups 2 and 13, with partially filled d orbitals
Transition elements
