How do you get balloons to stick to each other?
How do you get a balloon to stick to the wall?
What’s Going On? Rubbing the balloon with a piece of fabric gives it a negative charge, also known as static electricity. Enough static electricity will force the balloon to stick to neutrally charged surfaces, such as walls, by attracting the positive charge to the surface.

Why would a balloon attract your hair without touching it?
Hold the balloon (negatively charged) just above your head so your hair (positively charged) will be attracted to it and stand up on end. The can will start to roll towards the balloon without touching it. The negatively charged balloon repels the electrons of the can so that a positive charge is near the balloon.
Why is my balloon not sticking to the wall?
When you rub a balloon against your sleeve, your sleeve loses some electrons. The balloon ends up with extra electrons, making it negatively charged. When the negatively charged balloon approaches a wall, the negative charges in the wall are repelled (or pushed away).
Why does a balloon stick to a wall when you rub it on your head?
When the balloon is rubbed on your head, it becomes electrostatically charged (this is because electrons are transfered to/from the balloon from/to your hair). Since oposite charges attract, the balloon is attracted to the wall and ‘sticks‘ to it.
Why does rubbing a balloon on your sweater allow the balloon to stick to a wall or the ceiling?
Why does rubbing a balloon on your sweater allow the balloon to stick to a wall or the ceiling? You are adding a surplus of electrons (negative charges) to the surface of the balloon. As the two come in contact, the balloon will stick because of the rule that opposites attract (positive to negative).
