=Static electricity=

= Atoms are made up of oppositely charged particles. Electrons are negative and protons are positive. As we know electrons are around the outside of an atom. If electrons move away from an atom it leaves that atom with a positive charge (remember ions???). Static electricity occurs when electrons are rubbed off or onto something and a charge builds up. = = = =Here are some practice problems=
