Question

which subatomic particle is most easily transferred between atoms, leading to a change in an objects net charge and causing static effects? a protons, because they are in the nucleus. b electrons, because they are smaller and located on the outside of the atom. c the entire nucleus, due to its strong positive charge. d neutrons, because they are neutral.

Explanation:

Electrons are located in the outer - shell of an atom and are relatively loosely bound compared to protons and neutrons in the nucleus. They can be easily transferred between atoms, which causes changes in an object's net charge and can lead to static effects. Protons are in the nucleus and tightly bound, the entire nucleus is not easily transferred, and neutrons, being neutral, do not contribute to changes in charge through transfer.

Answer:

B. Electrons, because they are smaller and located on the outside of the atom.
