Interaction Between a Charged Balloon and a Wall

Interaction Between a Charged Balloon and a Wall
The computer simulation below demonstrates the electrostatic interaction between a charged balloon (e.g., rubbing the balloon with your hair) and a wall.
You may play with the slider "Charge the balloon" to change the type and amount of the charges on either the Right or Left side of the balloon. Observe carefully what happens.
After think about the mechanism, you may click on the button Atomic Model "On" to view the atomic model. Use the atomic model to explain the phenomenon.
Atomic Model:
Note: In the model, the temperature is set to room temperature (300K).
