  5. Zap! Electricity Atoms are thetiniest particles of any element

  6. Zap! Electricity Nucleus (positive charge) Electrons (negative charge) Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom

  7. Zap! Electricity Each orbit can hold a specific number of electrons Atoms prefer filled orbits to balanced charges So… Rubbing different materials together helps electrons move from one material to the other, which puts a positive charge on one and a negative charge on the other.

  8. Zap! Electricity Unlike charges attract each other Like charges repel each other
