A neutral object has an equal number of protons and electrons, resulting in no overall charge. A negatively charged object has an excess of electrons compared to protons, giving it a negative charge.
When a negatively charged object touches a neutral object, electrons transfer from the negatively charged object to the neutral object, causing the neutral object to gain electrons. This results in the neutral object becoming negatively charged.
The negatively charged object will attract the positive charges within the neutral object towards it, causing the neutral object to become polarized. This will result in an attractive force between the negatively charged object and the neutral object.
An example of a negatively charged object in contact with a neutral object would be rubbing a balloon on a sweater. The balloon becomes negatively charged and can attract the neutral object (sweater) due to the presence of opposite charges.
Electrons are transferred when a neutral object is charged. If electrons are added to an object, it becomes negatively charged, and if electrons are removed, it becomes positively charged.
The negatively charged object will attract the positive charges in the neutral object, causing them to move away, leaving the side closer to the negatively charged object slightly positive and the other side slightly negative. This uneven distribution of charges is known as polarization.

A negatively charged object. Also, a neutral object, through an induced separation of charges.
Any charged object weather positively charged or negatively charged will have an attractive interaction with a neutral object. Neutral objects do not attract or repel each other.

The negatively charged object will attract electrons in the neutral conductor towards it, causing the electrons to redistribute within the conductor. This redistribution will result in the end of the conductor closest to the negatively charged object becoming slightly negatively charged, while the end farthest from it becomes slightly positively charged. This induces a temporary dipole moment in the neutral conductor.
If you touch the knob of a positively charged electroscope with a negatively charged object, the excess electrons from the negatively charged object will flow to the electroscope, neutralizing the positive charge. The electroscope will become neutral or slightly negatively charged as a result.
No, a negatively charged object has the same number of electrons as a neutral object. The negative charge is due to an excess of electrons on the object, meaning it has gained extra electrons to become negatively charged.
No. But they can attract each other, provided the neutral object is a metal, in which case the negatively charged object will induce charges on it to cause the attraction.
