When a glass rod is rubbed with silk and becomes poitively charged, does the silk remain neutral?

Answer 1

The rod becomes positive (loses electrons); the silk become negative (gains electrons). Since electric charge is conserved, the system (glass rod and silk) maintains a net charge of 0.

Answer 2

No atoms is bumped off, what's accomplished by making use of rubbing the rod with silk, electrons from the class rod moved to the silk atom , this pass away the class atoms + charged, and the silk atoms _ charged
