Explanation:

Each definition is matched to the correct term from the provided word bank based on standard scientific definitions:
a. Matches the path electrons take in the electron cloud.
b. Gaining electrons results in this charge.
c. Describes the region of probable electron locations.
d. Rubbing materials creates this surface charge buildup.
e. This process causes charge transfer without direct contact.
f. This is the negatively charged subatomic particle orbiting the nucleus.
g. Losing electrons results in this charge.
h. This is the transfer of energy/charge via direct contact.
i. Rubbing surfaces create this resistance.
