CHEMCO Exit Exam • Set 10 Question 20 of 30

What is triboelectric property?

✓

Direct Answer

Option B: The gaining and losing of electrons from the materials depends on how strong an atom holds its electron, this is known as triboelectric property

Triboelectric property describes how readily a material gains or loses electrons due to rubbing friction, leading to electrostatic charge generation. This electron transfer depends on the material's atomic electron affinity, a critical factor in understanding static electricity hazards during cargo operations, as explained in ISGOTT.

All Options

A
Some materials due to rubbing friction gain or loose electrons, this is known as triboelectric property
B
The gaining and losing of electrons from the materials depends on how strong an atom holds its electron, this is known as triboelectric property (Correct Answer)
C
The material which gains electrons becomes negatively charged and the material which loses electrons turns to be positively charged, this is known as triboelectric property

Detailed Explanation & Context

Triboelectric property describes how readily a material gains or loses electrons due to rubbing friction, leading to electrostatic charge generation. This electron transfer depends on the material's atomic electron affinity, a critical factor in understanding static electricity hazards during cargo operations, as explained in ISGOTT.
