38
Semiconductors are materials in which electrons can move
Fairly well between atoms
39
Examples of insulators
Wood, rubber, plastic (non-metals)
40
Insulators are materials in which electrons
cannot move easily from one atom to another
41
Examples of conductors
Metals, copper, aluminum
42
Conductors are materials in which electrons can
move easily between atoms
43
Grounding is making an object neutral by
Gaining or losing electrons from the ground
44
Something negative comes in contact with a neutral object…
2 negative electrons from the second object will move to the bottom of the leafs
45
If something positive come in contact with a neutral object….
2 negative electrons will move from the second object to the first one and 2 negative ones come up from the bottom
