What happens when two oppositely charged items are brought close together?

Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it is able to move away by means of an electric current or electrical discharge. Static electricity is named in contrast with current electricity, which flows through wires or other conductors and transmits energy.[1]
A static electric charge is created whenever two surfaces contact and separate, and at least one of the surfaces has a high resistance to electrical current (and is therefore an electrical insulator). The effects of static electricity are familiar to most people because people can feel, hear, and even see the spark as the excess charge is neutralized when brought close to a large electrical conductor (for example, a path to ground), or a region with an excess charge of the opposite polarity (positive or negative). The familiar phenomenon of a static shock-more specifically, an electrostatic discharge-is caused by the neutralization of charge.

What happens if the negatively charged rod is brought close to another negatively charged rod?
they repel remember, opposites attract and likes repel.
What happens when a negative and positively charged ion together?
I cannot answer this question.
What happens when two negative objects are brought together?
They repel each other.
Why is it possibe for an uncharged object to appear charged if no charge has been transfered to it?
Charge is induced in the object when another charged object brought near it. this happens due to charge separation in the object thus making it polar.
What happens when clouds rub together?
they loose electrons to the earth, like when you rub hair on a baloon making the clouds postively charged
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.
What happens when two positively charged objects are brought together?
what happens when 2 positive charges interact
What can happen when an charged object can be brought near an charged object?
Induction happens
What happens to the forces of attraction between charged objects and uncharged as the distance between them decreases?
As the distance decreases the attraction increases
What happens when you separate a non metal and a metal?
Let us see with sodium chloride. NaCl separate in solution Na+ and Cl- two oppositely charged ions are the result
What happens if the negatively charged rod is brought close to another negatively charged rod?
they repel remember, opposites attract and likes repel.
What happens if you put two positively charged balloons together?
They Repel.
What happens when a negative and positively charged ion together?
I cannot answer this question.
What happens when two positively charged material is placed together?
The material will
What happens to the salt grains as they dissolve in water?
salt grains are groups of oppositely charged ions in a tight solid pattern. When they dissolve the water molecules attract these ions and cause them to separate, becoming a solution.
What happens when a chlorine shares 1 electrons with an atom of hydrogen?
Actually chlorine and hydrogen will not share electrons; the chlorine atom steals the electron from the hydrogen atom, creating two separate oppositely charged ions.
What happens when charged polythene rod come close together?
they repel one another
