Since ions, by definition, have an electric charge, they will either attract or repel other charges, depending on their sign.

How does salt help conduct electricity in water?
Salt splits up into ions; it is the ions that conduct electricity.
How does static electricity affect slow running water?
Slow running water in proximity to an electrically charged object (such as an inflated baloon with its surface filled with static electricity) will bend towards towards the object. The reason for this is that most water (if it is not de-ionized) contains positively and negatively charged ions. The ions with the same charge as the surface of the charged object will be pushed back into the faucet, leading to a buildup of ions with the opposite charge. Since opposite charges attract, the ions remaining in the water will be pulled towards the charged object, and the water will be pulled with the ions.
Does silk attract static electricity?
Yes
What is a form of electricity that can attract things?
"static"
Does cotton attract or repel static electricity?
it attracts
Which elements tend to attract electrons to become negative ions?
Nonmetals tend to attract electrons to become negative ions.
Does oppositely charged ions attract occur in an ionic bond?
Yes, oppositely charged ions attract in an ionic bond.
How does salt help conduct electricity in water?
Salt splits up into ions; it is the ions that conduct electricity.
Does electricity attract electricity?
Is lightning attracted to generators?
Which ion is attracted to which electrode?
because chloride ions being negatively charged have got a tendency to get attracted to positive ions( follows from coloumbs law) and since positive electrode contains positive ions so chloride free ions in solution gets attracted to the positive electrode....
What conducts electricity in water?
Ions conduct electricity in water H3O+ and OH- and if salts are dissolved, those ions too.
Why do sodium ions and chloride ions attract each other?
Because they have opposite electrical charges.
Proteins attract hydrogen ions and can act as?
Buffers
How does the cells charge affect the ions to move into the cell?
The charge of the cell would repel similar charged ions and attract opposite charged ions. For example, if a cell is positively charged, it would repel positive ions and attract negative ions
What do like charged ions do?
Like-charged ions repel each other. Opposite-charged ions attract each other.
Why will sodium chloride conduct electricity in water?
In water, sodium chloride will dissociate into Na+ ions and Cl- ions. Due to the presence of charges, ions are good conductors of electricity.
Does sodium bromide conduct electricity?
Sodium bromide is an ionic substance. It conducts electricity when melted or when dissolved in water. This is due to the sodium, Na+ ions and the Br- ions present. It does not conduct electricity in the solid state as the ions can not move.
