An ionic bond
Ionic
A chemical bond resulting from the electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions is called an Ionic Bond. The chemical bond formed when two atoms share electrons is called an covalent bond.
If a negative is divided by a positive, the resulting quotient will be negative. If a negative is divided by another negative, the quotient would be positive.
It is a chemical process whereby one or more electrons from one atom are removed and attached to another atom. This will create a negative charge in the atom from which the electron(s) have been removed, and a positive charge in the atom to which the electron(s) have become attached, resulting in a positive to negative attraction between the two atoms, which will then bond to form a molecule.
The rules for the sign (positive or negative) of the result of a multiplication is the same as division. For multiplication: Positive * Positive --> Positive Positive * Negative --> Negative Negative * Positive --> Negative Negative * Negative --> Positive For division: Positive / Positive --> Positive Positive / Negative --> Negative Negative / Positive --> Negative Negative / Negative --> Positive
Because the charges are equal in magnitude, the attraction is simultaneous.
If you're talking about the attraction between molecules of methanol, it's called "hydrogen bonding." It's actually not a chemical bond, just a strong positive-to-negative attraction.
