1. __________________________ : A negatively charged (-1.67 x 10-19 C) subatomic particle found surrounding all atoms.
2. __________________________ : A positively charged (+1.67 x 10-19 C) subatomic particle found in the nucleus of all atoms.
3. __________________________ : A measurement that expresses the extent to which an object has more or fewer electrons than protons
4. __________________________ : Having an excess of protons and attracting negative or neutrally charged objects.

1. __________________________ : Having an excess of electrons and attracting positive or neutrally charged objects.

1. __________________________ : Having no charge due to an equal amount of protons and electrons.

1. __________________________ : Separating positive and negative charges to the ends of an object

1. __________________________ : Charging an object through sliding two surfaces together.

1. __________________________ : A measurement of an object's inclination to gain electrons.

1. __________________________ : The total amount of charge in the universe is always conserved. Charges are not created or destroyed, they simply transfer from one object to another.

1. __________________________ : Removing excess charge on an object by flowing electrons into a substantially larger object.

1. __________________________ : The movement of electrically charged particles through a conductor. Charging by touch.

1. __________________________ : Charging an object without direct contact through polarization and then charge separation.

1. __________________________ : An attraction or repulsion between objects due to their net charge.

1. __________________________ : The charge of one proton or electron (1.67 x 10-19 C)

1. __________________________ : The standard unit of charge, equalling 6.24 x 10¹⁸ electrons.

1. __________________________ : Like charges repel and opposite charges attract with a force directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
