Rubber Balloons Insulators – electrons are held tightly to their atom parents.

description

Neutral Balloon and Negative Balloon Close Together The overcrowded electrons in the negative balloon are strongly attracted to (and move) towards the neutral balloon. This pushes the electrons in the neutral balloon away.

Mylar Balloons

Those grey shiny balloons (Conductive) – more freely allow electrons to go to other atoms.
