the opposite charges attract each other
When they meet as 'particles' the charges would cancel each other out, or 'annihilate' each other, which may be seen as closely equivalent to 'destructive' wave interference (1 peak + 1 trough = smooth surface)

∙ 14y agothey are attracted to each other, just a fact of nature, if you are talking about chemical reactions then a 1- atom and 1+ atom form with a 1:1 ratio like NaCl and a 2- atom and a 1+ atom form with a 2:1 ratio like NaO

∙ 14y agoThey will repel each other.
Coulomb's law.

∙ 11y agothey won't react because it needs a negative charge in order to react

What determines whether or not an atom will react with other atoms?
depends on the charges, either negative or positive
3 positive charges and 4 negative charges what is the overall charge of an atom?
If an atom has 3 positive charges (protons) and 4 negative charges (electrons), the 3 positive charges would "cancel out" 3 negative charges, with one negative charge left over. So the atom would have a charge of -1.
Their respective charges are?
Positive, negative, neutral
What do you call matter that has a balance of positive and negative charges?
Neutral charges
Why electrons are attracted to protons?
Particles of opposite charges attract each other. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge.Particles of opposite charges attract each other.

How do like electric charges react to each other?
Like charges (i.e. positive/positive or negative/negative) will repel one another.

Does current electricity have positive and negative charges?
No electric charges may be positive or negative - electrons have a negative charge; ions have a positive charge.
When there is full of negative charges in a jar are there going to be negative charges?
No there are not going to be negative charges there are going to be positive charges!!!!
Does wool have a negative or positive charge?
both because every object has both positive and negative charges but mainly has positive charges.
How can water be a neutral molecule but still have positive and negative chargers on it?
It is because it has positive charges (from 2 H) and negative charges (from O), that the charges balance out (negative + positive = neutral) (2H+) + (O2-) -----> H2O
What is the difference between positive and negative electric fields?
Positive electric fields attract negative charges while negative electric fields attract positive charges.
Are nonmetals positive or negative?
Nonmetals have negative charges.
Do positive objects contain only positive charges?
No. A positive ion merely has more positive charges (protons) than negative charges (electrons).
What are the three charges?
The three charges are: POSITIVE,NEGATIVE, AND NEUTRAL
How do charges flow?
Charges always flow from positive to negative.
What is the algebraic sum of the charges in a compound?
The algebraic sum of the charges in a compound is zero. Each atom contributes either a negative or a positive charge to form the compound when they react with each other.
