Answer:

Definition. law of conservation of charge. Law stating that charges are not destroyed when they are transferred between two materials or within a material, so the total charge remains the same.

Explanation:

Whenever electrons are transferred between objects, neutral matter becomes charged. This occurs even with individual atoms. Atoms are neutral in electric charge because they have the same number of negative electrons as positive protons. However, if atoms lose or gain electrons, they become charged particles called ions. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion, or cation. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negative charged ion, or anion.
