What is a chemical bond is formed when atoms are attracted to each other by opposite electrical charges?

Strictly speaking, when atoms become electrically charged they are described as ions, rather than atoms, so atoms do not get attracted to each other by charge. Ionic bonds form between ions.

Do things with opposite electrical charges attract each other?
Opposite charges attract, and similar charges repel.
What keeps ions together in ionic bonding?

When two opposite electrical forces are near each other what will happens?
they will attract
Why do sodium ions and chloride ions attract each other?
Because they have opposite electrical charges.
What do electrical charges do?
Everything chemical. OR like repel, opposite attract.
Atoms are attracted to each other when they have what?
They attract each other when they have differed charges, or to involve in chemical bonding.
The type of chemical bond formed when ions with opposite electrical charges attract?
Ionic Bond
Are an electron and a proton attracted or repelled?

What is the best answer about two adjacent electrical charges if both are positive they attract if both are negative they attract if one is positive and one is negative they attract if one is positive?
Two like charges will repel each and will be attracted to the opposite charges.
Do things with opposite electrical charges attract each other?
Opposite charges attract, and similar charges repel.
What effect will charge object have on an object with the opposite charge?

What will effect will a charged object have on an object with the opposite charge?
It will attract it and/or be attracted to it. Opposite charges attract.
a positive charge and a negative charge eachother?
When a positive and negative charge collide, their forces act in the same direction, from positive to negative. As a result, contrary charges are attracted to one another: the electric field and forces produced by two electrical charges of opposite polarity. Both charges are attracted to each other.
How do particles withe the opposite charges itneract?
Particles with opposite charges form bond. The ionic bond formed is stronger.
