Both conduction and induction involve a movement of electrons. Conduction is the transfer of electrons from a charged object to another object by direct contact. Induction does not involve direct contact. Instead, induction is the movement of electrons from one part of an object to another as a result of the electric field of the second object.
If the ion is positive, then the loss of an electron will result in the ion having one greater positive charge. (A +3 ion will be +4.) If the ion is negative, then the loss of an electron will result in the ion being one less negative than it was previously. (A -4 ion wil be -3. A -1 ion will be neutral and have a zero charge.)
An atom with an electric charge is called an ion. An ion is the result of an imbalance in the number of protons and electrons. If there is more protons than electrons then your atom will have a positive charge. If more electons then it will have a negative charge.
electrons are negatively charged, so losing electrons will result in a cation, or a positive ion.
When an objects gets negative charge it attracts positive charged objects, repel negative charged objects and even attracts neutral copper rod. Neutral copper rod is attracted towards both both negative and positive charged objects due to the availability of mobile electrons in the copper rod.

An electrical charge is the result of the flow of electrons.
Too many or too few electrons creates an ion. The standard definition of an ion is any element whose charge is nonzero and there are two types: anion and cation. A cation will have a positive charge, and thus fewer electrons than normal, and an anion will have a negative charge, and thus more electrons than normal.

Static electricity is the result of creating a charge by rubbing two objects together. The positively charged objected with accepted electrons from the negatively charged item giving it an electric charge.
An atom that has an equal number of protons and electrons will be neutral and have no charge.
If the ion is positive, then the loss of an electron will result in the ion having one greater positive charge. (A +3 ion will be +4.) If the ion is negative, then the loss of an electron will result in the ion being one less negative than it was previously. (A -4 ion wil be -3. A -1 ion will be neutral and have a zero charge.)
If charge is transferred to the object at a given location, that charge is quickly distributed across the entire surface of the object. The distribution of charge is the result of electron movement.
Atoms with a charge are called ions.
An atom with an electric charge is called an ion. An ion is the result of an imbalance in the number of protons and electrons. If there is more protons than electrons then your atom will have a positive charge. If more electons then it will have a negative charge.
In simple terms, an atom is made up of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. Protons have positive charge (+1), Neutrons have no charge (0), and Electrons have negative charge (-1). If an atom gains or loses Electrons, it's net charge changes. To result in a negative charge, the atom must have more Electrons than Protons.
No. The actual result is the opposite. If a charged object is brought into the vicinity of a neutral object, normally the two objects attract. The attraction is a consequence of polarization. A neutral object is still composed of many charges associated with the electrons and nuclei of the atoms of the object. If it is a conductor, then electrons will easily move around the conductor in an electric field, but even a nonconductor allows some small movement of the electrons of the atoms. In either case, the movement is such that the electrons in the neutral object tend to shift opposite to the direction of any applied field, i.e. towards a positive charge if a positive object causes the field or away from a negatively charged object. For a neutral object, "polarization" is the charge separation on the object that is caused by the external electric field, for instance a nearby negative object. (Polarization is, by definition, the charge separation induced by an external field and this is a materials property that is different for different materials.) When that charge separation takes place, the electrons (negative) will move somewhat away from a negative object nearby and leave a net positive on the part of the neutral object closest to the negative object. The neutral object has equal amounts of positive and negative charge, but the exposed positive charge is closer to the negative object and thus feels a greater force. There is both an attractive force and a repulsive force acting on different regions of the neutral object, but attraction always is greater because the region experiencing the attraction is closest to the external charge causing the polarization.) In general, a charge (positive or negative), brought near a neutral object will result in polarization of the neutral object and an attractive force between the two object. Polarization forces are larger when the neutral object is a conductor, but for nonconducting materials it is smaller and depends on the type of material.
