When an object is charged, it either has a surplus or deficiency of electrons. If it has a surplus, the object is negatively charged, and if it has a deficiency, then it is positively charged (has more protons than electrons).

Why is a neural object attracted to a charged object?
I assume you mean "neutral object". The answer is that the charged object will induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.
What does it mean when an object is charged by friction?
The object becomes positivley / negatively charged when friction acts on it.
What can happen when an charged object can be brought near an uncharged object?
A neutrally charged object can still be affected by a charged object. If a neutrally charged object is being approached by a negatively charged objects, the electrons within the neutrally charged object will migrate to the other side (as the two negative charges repel), leaving the side closes to the negative object positive. Protons do not move. From there, the protons are attracted to the electrons, therefore moving the 'uncharged' object.
How is the charge on a charged object maintained?
If the object remains ungrounded it will remain charged.
How do objects become negatively charged using the contact method?
when a negatvely charged object touches a neutrally charged object electrons move to the neutraly charged object making it negativly charged!

Does a charged object effect an non charged object?
No.

What are some ways in which an object can become charged?
Some ways in which an object can become charged are friction, contact and induction.
How do objects become negatively charged using the contact method?
when a negatvely charged object touches a neutrally charged object electrons move to the neutraly charged object making it negativly charged!
What object repels a positively charged object?
A positively charged object. Like charges repel.
What happens when a charged object is brought to another oppositely charged object?
There will be flow of electrons from negatively charged object towards the positively charged object making an attempt to make both of them electrically neutral.
A charged object does not affect an object that has no charge?
It depends on the type of non-charged object. If the object is made of conductive material, a charged object will induce a separation of charge in the non-charged object. Its net charge will still be zero. If the object is not conductive, there will be no significant effect.
What object can be attracted by a charged object?
A negatively charged object. Also, a neutral object, through an induced separation of charges.
What can happen when an charged object can be brought near an charged object?
Induction happens
