Answer:

Electrons

Step-by-step explanation:

"Static charges" occur when the number of positive charge and negative charge are not equal. This can be applied to neutral objects by friction, induction and conduction with the help of "electrons."

In friction, the electrons are being transferred between the objects being rubbed together.

In conduction, the electrons are also being transferred from one object to another but not through rubbing; instead through direct contact.

In induction, the electrons are able to react immediately without the need for direct contact.

So, electrons are being utilized in these processes in order to create charge.
