A flow of electrical charges running through a medium is known as an electrical current.
positivenegativeneutralCommentWithout wishing to be picky, 'neutral' is not a type of charge -it is a lack of charge.

It probably would... If the metal wall area were small enough and not grounded. As the charged balloon touches the conductive metal wall, the wall quickly 'absorbs' and spreads the unbalanced charge throughout it's mass. (It only conducts away the charge from the part of the balloon touching the wall...) After dissipating the unbalanced charge from the balloon, there's no 'positive' / 'negative' charge separation to cause an attractive force so the balloon doesn't stick. In other words, the balloon looses part of its charge to the wall that has a much greater ability to store and spread electrical charges. Conductors, such as the metal wall, cannot be forced to maintain localized charge imbalances (like insulators can) as the imbalances are quickly conducted away. The electroscope experiment shows that conductors (small, ungrounded) CAN maintain net electrical charges (the foil leaves spread due to their holding like charges).
Electrical charges will not flow. The considered to be held stationary.
Those with positive electrical charges, and those with negative electrical charges.
There is a very big difference between the electrical charge of a balloon rubbed in a person's hair and a glass rod rubbed with silk. The charge from the balloon will just make it stick to objects. The charge from the glass rod will emit a very large electrical shock that might knock a person to the ground. This is because the glass rod is a better conductor of electricity than the balloon.
