What would happen if a positively charged sodium ion and negatively charged chlorine ion come into contact?
They would be strongly attracted to each other. Multiple such attractions are what hold together solid sodium chloride.
Why a peace of paper attracted towards a charged object?
Most of the time, in an object, its negative and positive charges are balanced, which makes it a neutrally-charged object. Sometimes, when some objects come into contact with other things, they gather more charges of one type. If there are more electrons, they are negatively-charged. If there are more protons, they are positively-charged. Because opposites attract, an object which is negatively-charged will attract another object which is positively-charged and vice versa.
What do positive and negative ions do to create?
since a positively charged ion will be attracted to a negatively charged ion, when they come together they form a compound with different characteristics than the elements the ions came from. take table salt for example. it's an ionic compound. NaCl = Sodium chloride is its real name and they come together since a sodium atom is positively charged and a chlorine atom is negatively charged. when they come together they form NaCl.

What happens when charged polythene rod come close together?
they repel one another
Does hair contain static electrity?
Not when your body is neutraly charged, when you come in contact with a negitively charged object, the electrons move into you and the object. The reason your hair stands up is the electrons try to get away from each other and stands of hair are perfect.
What would happen if two tornadoes came together?
If two tornadoes come together they merge into one tornado.
Do Molecular compounds create positive and negative ions in solution?
since a positively charged ion will be attracted to a negatively charged ion, when they come together they form a compound with different characteristics than the elements the ions came from. take table salt for example. it's an ionic compound. NaCl = Sodium chloride is its real name and they come together since a sodium atom is positively charged and a chlorine atom is negatively charged. when they come together they form NaCl.
What does predition mean?
how the prey and predetor come together at something
What will happen when the south pole ends of two bar magnets come together?
They will repel each other.
What object holds chromatids together during mitosis?
The centromere. It where the two identical sister chromatids come closest in contact.
How and why do magnets attach?
They become attracted from the positive and negitively charged atoms. When these atoms come together, they attract to each other which makes the magnets attach.
