Direct Current Positive - the starting point at which the electrons flow through the wire circuit. These electrons are fully charged, ready to expend their energy into the various points in the circuit, be it a lightbulb etc Direct Current Negative - the return point of the finished electrons into the battery to collect more energy to enter the circuit again.
When you rub a balloon onto your hair or piece of clothing, the balloon collects the electrons (negative charge) from the hair or clothing you rubbed it on. The balloon now has more electrons (negative charge) than protons (positive charge) making it have a negative charge. The hair or clothing has more protons than electrons making it have a positive charge.
Electrons, for chemical reactions
Those electrons are the valence electrons. They are the electrons which mostly take part in exchange of electrons or sharing of electrons. Hence, valence shell electrons are a very important part of chemistry since all the reactions due to them only.
Outer energy level electrons, or valence electron.

cathode rays can emit electrons anode can collect them
The cathode, where the +ions in solution accept electrons and become neutral metal atoms.
Molecules that have a positive charge collect electrons. This because they have more protons than electrons and positive charge attract negative charged electrons.
No, oxygen is much more likely to collect additional electrons. This is because oxygen has 6 of the 8 orbitals in its valence shell and only needs two more electrons to be stable. Also, oxygen is highly electronegative, so even when it is sharing electrons with another atom it tends to pull the shared electrons to itself and away from the other atom.
Free electrons most definitely repel each other. Any attempt to create a buildup of electrons in a specific spot will eventually result in the repulsion amongst these electrons to overcome the attempt to collect them. When you rub your skin against a wool rug on a dry day, you build up a surplus of free electrons on your skin. The repulsion between these free electrons cause this surplus to scatter to all parts of the skin, thus permitting a discharge of them to occur at any place in your skin.
The electron transport chain uses the high-energy electrons from the Krebs cycle to convert ADP into ATP
No, collect is a verb (to collect) and an adjective (a collect call).
Because Helium, as the atom number 2, has only 2 protons in the nucleus, so the element He can 'hold' only 2 electrons in its prime K-orbit. However they should not be referred as 'valence' electrons, because they don't participate in valency (= capable of bonding): the K-orbit is stable and filled up and can NEITHER collect more electrons from NOR it will provide its own pair of electrons to other elements thus making it inert (Helium is a 'nobel' gas)

Great question: Conduction of electricity (electrons) in a solution requires ions. Water is, by itself, only weakly ionic (charged) and as such is a poor conductor of electrons. Adding, or dissolving, substances that will form ions increases the conductivity of the mixture.
"Collect" can be a verb, as in, "She wanted to collect butterflies". Or, "Collect" can be an adjective, as in, "I just made a collect phone call".
