Looking at the picture of object A and object B, one would have so say that the net charge

• before they interact is greater than the net charge after they interact.

• before they interact is less than the net charge after they interact.

• before they interact is the same as the net charge after they interact.

Which of the following elements would most likely be a semiconductor?

• Sodium

• Silicon

• Lithium

• Sulfur

Which of the following elements would most likely be a good conductor?

• Chlorine

• Boron

• Magnesium

• Silicon

Which of the following elements would most likely be an insulator?

• Oxygen

• Magnesium

• Silicon

• Aluminum

Protons do not jump from object to object. Electrons, however, are able to jump from object to object because they are

• loosely bound (held) to the atom.

• negative in charge.

• smaller in mass.

• attracted to positive charges

A conductor differs from an insulator in that a conductor

• has more protons than electrons.

• has more electrons than protons.

• allows electrons to move more freely

• holds onto its electrons very strongly
