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.
Something becomes positively charged when it loses electrons, leaving it with more protons than electrons. This imbalance of positive charge creates a net positive charge on the object.
A positive charge
When an object loses electrons, it becomes positively charged because it has more protons than electrons. The protons are no longer balanced by an equal number of electrons, resulting in an overall positive charge on the object.
If the Object is an aton, it has more protons than electrons.
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.
yes
A positively charged object has an excess of protons relative to electrons. This imbalance of charge causes the object to attract negatively charged particles and repel other positively charged particles.

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.
Its number of Protons is more than Electrons

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)
