2 Directions Drag and drop the correct answer choice to each answer blank Use the word bank below to fill in the blanks E insulator 17 electrons it sticks if positive charge 1. negative charge ii conductor : neutral charge B repels 1 protons A balloon is rubbed against a sweater and then placed near a wall The balloon is a strong square and pulls square from the sweates making the sweater have a more square and the balloon a more square When the balloon is placed near the neutrally charged wall, it to it.

This question is about the properties of materials and the behavior of charges. When a balloon is rubbed against a sweater, it becomes negatively charged because it gains electrons from the sweater. This is due to the fact that the balloon has a stronger attraction for electrons than the sweater does. As a result, the sweater becomes positively charged because it loses electrons. The balloon, now with a negative charge, is attracted to the wall because opposite charges attract. Therefore, the balloon is a strong conductor, it pulls electrons from the sweater, making the sweater have a more positive charge and the balloon a more negative charge. When the balloon is placed near the neutrally charged wall, it repels to it because like charges repel.
