question 13 (5 points)listenwhich of the following explains why your hair stands on end when you rub it with a balloon?protons from the balloon jump to your hair, causing it to become negatively charged.the balloon creates friction, which sticks your hair to it.protons from your hair jump to the balloon, causing it to become negatively charged on one side.electrons from your hair jump to the balloon, causing it to become negatively charged on one side.

Explanation:

This phenomenon is static electricity. When rubbing, only electrons (not protons, which are bound in atomic nuclei) transfer between materials. The balloon (usually rubber) gains electrons from hair, becoming negatively charged, while hair becomes positively charged. The positively charged hair strands repel each other, making them stand on end.

Answer:

Electrons from your hair jump to the balloon, causing it to become negatively charged on one side.
