What will happen to the negatively charged electrons when the rod touches the foam cup? (1 point) Responses The electrons will transfer to the foam cup and will remain in a concentrated, positively charged area on the cup where the rod was placed. The electrons will transfer to the foam cup and will remain in a concentrated, positively charged area on the cup where the rod was placed. The electrons will transfer to the foam cup and will remain in a concentrated, negatively charged area on the cup where the rod was placed. The electrons will transfer to the foam cup and will remain in a concentrated, negatively charged area on the cup where the rod was placed. The electrons will transfer from the foam cup to the metal can, causing both cup and can to have a positive charge. The electrons will transfer from the foam cup to the metal can, causing both cup and can to have a positive charge. The electrons will transfer from the foam cup to the metal can, causing both the cup and can to have a negative charge.

When a negatively charged rod touches a foam cup, the electrons from the rod will transfer to the foam cup. This will cause the foam cup to gain additional electrons, resulting in an overall negative charge in the area where the rod was in contact with the cup. Therefore, the correct response is:
"The electrons will transfer to the foam cup and will remain in a concentrated, negatively charged area on the cup where the rod was placed."
