What part of an atom is most likely to be transferred as a body acquires a static electric charge?

a proton


b. neutron


c electron


d positron

What part of an atom is most likely to be transferred as a body acquires a static electric charge?
an electron, the neutron and the proton are both in the nucleus, and a positron is a small part of another part, not likely to be transferred.
Reply:c. electron

Reply:c. electrons are much lighter than the rest, therefore it's much easier for them to move around and get pulled off an atom.
Reply:Electrons. Neutron transfers occur in nuclear reactions and would cause decay. Protons would cause transmogrification (one element become another element). Positrons occur during neuclear decay.


Electrons will cause an atom or molecule to acquire a charge, which discharges when contact with ground occurs.
Reply:Considering no one has really seen an atom, no one really knows. But if we go off the theory that atoms are made of a core of protons and neutrons with orbiting electrons and the electrons have a negative charge. Then the answer is electron. BTW static energy is a negative voltage.
