electrically neutral :)
It does not acquire any charge, it looses negative charge (the electrons), so becomes net positive.
Either one can acquire a static charge.
What will be the charge if you scrape electrons from your feet while scuffing across the rug?
The bits of paper acquire opposite charge of the comb and as unlike charge attract the bits of paper are attracted and picked up by the comb
electrically neutral :)

They do not. An electron is negatively charged and an atom can only acquire a negative charge on gaining electrons.
the charge of an iron ion is 2+
when an electron is added to an atom, the atom will acquire a negative charge.
A bolt of lightning is almost pure electrons ... so the charge is negative.
fluorine ion has a charge of -1, it has an extra elctron
It gains a positive charge, generally being 1+
By losing electrons.
+2 and +4 charges

They acquire a charge from somewhere else.
