WHAT IS AN ATOM?
What makes up an atom?
● Basic unit of matter

● Made of subatomic
particles namely
electrons, protons, and
neutrons

● The nucleus of an atom is

in the center, which is
where the protons and
neutrons are located
What force holds the
atoms together?
What force holds the atoms together?

Coulombic Attraction Strong Nuclear Force

Electrical force between Nuclear force between protons
protons and electrons and neutrons
How do these subatomic
particles differ from each
other?
RULE OF ELECTRIC
CHARGES
 1. How many types
of electric charges are there?
Answer: TWO ( + and - )
 2. What general rule describes the way
in which electric charges interact with each other?
Answer: Like charges repel ;
opposite charges attract
 - -
Question: If you placed a negatively
charged object between the two negatively
charged pith balls, what would happen?
 - - -
Answer: The two negatively charged pith
balls would move even farther apart
because like charges repel each other.
 + +
Question: If you placed a negatively
charged object between the two positively
charged pith balls, what would happen?
 + - +
Answer: The two positively charged pith
balls would be attracted to the negatively
charged object because opposite charges
attract each other.

Discussion Pt. 2
Listen to your teacher and take down notes
Where do charges come
from? How can pith balls
with no charge become
charged?
 Charges come from atoms.
Matter is normally neutral because there
are equal number of e- and p+
Law of Conservation
of Charge
In an isolated system, the net amount of charge
produced in any process is zero; Charge cannot be
created nor destroyed
# of e- > # of p+ NEGATIVELY
CHARGED

# of e- < # of p+ POSITIVELY
CHARGED

# of e- = # of p+ NEUTRAL
The electrostatic series
(chart) is a list that
determines the kind of
electric charge that is
produced on each
substance when any two
substances are rubbed
together.
● The balloon is
NEGATIVELY CHARGED
when rubbed with
wool (gets excess
electrons)

● As you place it by the

wall, it makes the
negative charges on
the wall move away
● It creates a POSITIVELY
CHARGED surface near
the balloon

● Hence, the attraction

between the balloon
and the wall

● POLARIZATION
