Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is TRUE about electric charge?
A
It can be lost.
B
It can be destroyed.
C
It can be transferred from atom to atom.
D
It is created from a chemical reaction.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Expert-Verified Answer. D. It can be transferred from atom to atom is true about electric charge. Electric charge is transferred for stability of atom.

Detailed explanation-2: -Unlike protons, electrons can move from atom to atom. If an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, its net charge is 0. If it gains an extra electron, it becomes negatively charged and is known as an anion. If it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and is known as a cation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Electric charge is a conserved quantity. A positive charge and a negative charge attract each other.-Statement is true, unlike charges attract each other.

Detailed explanation-4: -Electrons can be made to move from one atom to another. When those electrons move between them a current of electricity is created. Scientists and engineers have learned many ways to move elec-trons off atoms.

Detailed explanation-5: -Charge is neither created nor destroyed; it is simply transferred from one object to another object in the form of electrons.
