Provide your second object is an insulator, - able to carry an electrical charge - it will have an electrical charge induced on it by the presence of a nearby electrically charged object. So, the second object does not need to have its own independent electrical charge, it is sufficient that it can carry one.
Electrons must transfer from object A to object B for object A to become positively charged. When electrons are transferred from one object to another, the object losing electrons becomes positively charged, while the object gaining electrons becomes negatively charged.
Yes, potential energy associated with a charged object is due to its position in an electric field. When the charged object is positioned in an electric field, work must be done to move the charged object to a different position, resulting in potential energy stored in the system.
If the metal ball acquired a negative charge after being grounded, the charged object must be positively charged. When grounded, the metal ball gained electrons which caused it to become negatively charged. This would only occur if the charged object had an excess of positive charge to transfer to the metal ball.
You must touch a charged object to the metal rod of an electroscope because metal is a good conductor of electricity, allowing the charge to flow through it. The electrons from the charged object redistribute along the metal rod and into the leaves of the electroscope, causing them to repel. Rubber, on the other hand, is an insulator and does not allow the charge to flow.
if some of the positive charges have been either chemically removed or bonded together, that is how they become negatively charged...................... xoxo
An ion is always electrically charged.
No. The attraction is stronger when both are charged. But a charged object may induce an electric dipole (i.e., a separation of charges) in a nearby neutral conductor, resulting in an attraction.
if a block of metal is attracted to a magnet it must have flowing charged particles (electrons)
Electrons must transfer from object A to object B for object A to become positively charged. When electrons are transferred from one object to another, the object losing electrons becomes positively charged, while the object gaining electrons becomes negatively charged.
To become electrically charged, a conductor must either have an excess of electrons (negatively charged) or a deficiency of electrons (positively charged). For every free electron moving around in a current-carrying conductor, there is a corresponding proton within the fixed atoms, so the conductor is neither negatively- nor positively-charged, but neutral.
To become negatively charged, an object must gain electrons from another object

When grounded, the metal ball gained electrons which caused it to become negatively charged. This would only occur if the charged object had an excess of positive charge to transfer to the metal ball.
The object must contain ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, or cobalt to be attracted to a magnet. These materials have unpaired electrons that align with the magnetic field, leading to attraction.

No. By definition an ion is electrically charged and so must have a different number of protons and electrons. A chloride ion has 17 protons and 18 electrons.
