What else can I help you with?
Do all objects have a charge?
Not all objects have a charge. Objects can be neutral, meaning they have an equal amount of positive and negative charges that cancel each other out. Only objects that have an unequal distribution of positive and negative charges will have a net charge.
What happens when a positive object touches a positive object?
I believe that they will push away from each other. Only opposites attract.
What is the basis for the statement that lines of electric force begin and end only on the electric charges?
The statement that lines of electric force begin and end only on electric charges is based on the principle that electric field lines represent the direction in which a positive test charge would move when placed in the field. Since positive charges repel each other and negative charges attract positive charges, electric field lines naturally begin on positive charges (sources) and end on negative charges (sinks).
What happens when positively charged objects and neutral charged objects are brought together?
if you are using magnets, they stick together.
How did they know that there was only two types of charges?
The observation of attraction between opposite charges and repulsion between like charges led to the conclusion that there are only two types of charges: positive and negative. Through experiments and observations, scientists determined that all electrical phenomena can be explained by the presence of these two types of charges.

Ions can have only positive charges?
false

Is it true that in ionic compounds the oxidation number is the same as the charge on the ion . a neutral ionic compound can only contain ions with identical charges?
No, it is not true that a neutral ionic compound can only contain ions with identical charges. You can have, for example, a compound that consists of twice as many positive ions as negative ions, but the positive ions have only half the charge; +1 ions bonded to -2 ions. There are many different possible ratios with which different elements or radicals combine. As long as the total amount of charge adds up to zero, you still have a neutral ionic compound.
What happens when positively charged objects and neutral charged objects are brought together?
if you are using magnets, they stick together.
How positive and negative attract?
Think about it in science. If you had any atom with only positive charges or just negative charges it is an unstable atom, therfore you can't make anything out of it. They attract like puzzle pieces. To stabalize an object you need an equal amount of positive and negative charges.
How do charged objects attract neutral objects?
Some neutral objects have a weak dipole force where electron distribution is random across the whole object, and at any one given time, one side may be slightly more positive than the other. This attraction is very weak but it happens frequently especially in solutions.
What are the two electric charges?
There are two types of charges: positive charges and negative charges. Positive charges are immobile, and are found inside the nuclei of atoms as Protons. Negative charges can be mobile, and have the source of electrons. These orbit the nuclei of atoms, and can be stripped from the atoms to be used as mobile charged through conductors, such as electricity moving through wires.
Why did scientists know that atoms have positive charges?
A neutral atom has not an electrical charge; only cations have a positive charge. Using an electrochemical cell with two electrodes (anode and catode) you can determine the charge of ions in the solution.

Do ionic bonds form between ionized atoms?
Yes, only if there are both ions with positive charges and ions with negative charges among the ionized atoms.
