yes
-- They can if the gravitational force of attraction is greater than the electrostatic force of repulsion between them. -- They also can if they're connected by a rubber band that has been stretched. -- But if the only force between them is the electrostatic force due to their charges, then they must always repel, because their charges have the same sign.
It has a positive charge.
In the absolute sense, something that is 'positively charged' has more protons than electrons (normally an object has equal numbers of protons and electrons and, therefore, is neutral). However, an object can also be described as being 'positive' in the relative sense. For example, we often describe an object as being 'positive' (in comparison with another object) when it is actually negatively charged, but is 'less negative' than that other object. For example, in the case of a simple cell, both the copper and zinc electrodes are actually negatively charged; however, the copper electrode, being 'less negatively charged' than the zinc, is referred to as being the 'positive electrode'.
more protons than electrons A+
If an object has an unequal number of protons and electrons, then the object becomes electrically charged. An object that is positively charged has more protons than electrons.
If the Object is an aton, it has more protons than electrons.
It will repel other positively charged entities and attract all negatively charged entities.
yes
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).
No; at least, not necessarily. To be positively charged, and object simply needs to contain *more* protons than electrons. Inversely, the same is true of negatively charged objects, which only need to have more electrons than protons.

The " object " would have a positive charge because protons are positively charged./
No that is wrong. that compound has more protons than electrons.
Positively charged objects have more protons than electrons. Negatively charged objects have more electrons than protons.
It doesn't. A positively charged body is deficient in electrons. In an uncharged object there are equal numbers of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. Removing electrons will leave more protons than electrons, so the object will be positively charged. Such an object is said to have a deficiency or electrons rather than a surplus of electrons because it is generally easier to remove electrons than it is to add protons. Electrons occupy the outer shells of an atom and have a much lower mass than protons. The protons, by contrast, are bound together in the dense nucleus.
That would be a positively charged ion. (cation)
