Atoms: Positive Charge Or Triboelectric Charging

Matter is made up and composed of atoms.These atoms have a core called nucleus.Atoms also have electrons orbiting around their nucleus.The core has positive charge while the electrons have negative charge.Rubbing causes unlike atoms to stick and unstick frequently. Atoms "fight" over electrons, and the stronger one gets to take the electron home.The triboelectric effect,also known as triboelectric charging,is a type of contact electrification on which certain materials become electrically charged after they come into frictional contact with a different material.Rubbing glass with fur, or a plastic comb through the hair, can build up triboelectricity.

The rod is made of glass, and is what is generally known as a friction rod.In the case of the glass rod,it begins electrically neutral but electrons are stripped away from the atoms in the glass when it was rubbed into the fabric cloth (PE uniform).The electrons are now transferred to the fabric cloth (PE uniform).Leaving the glass rod with more positive than negative charge and giving it a net positive charge.
The unequal sharing of electrons gives the water molecule a slight negative charge near its oxygen atom and a slight positive charge near its hydrogen atoms.When a neutral molecule has a positive area at one end and a negative area at the other, it is a polar
