Two electrically charged items that repel eachother, must both have the same type of charge. Either both have a negative charge, or both have a positive charge. Hence the reason the are repeling one another. If one was negative and the other was positive they would both stick together because of the attraction.

It is an equal (=) number of protons that causes this "electrifying" attraction or how it repels

It must be positive. Two objects of charges which are alike will repel. Opposite would attract.

How come the leaves on a metal leaf electroscope repel?

An electroscope detects the static electrical charge on an object. If an object with a electrical charge is touched to the knob on top this charge is transferred to the rod and in turn to the metal leaves in the jar. Opposite charged objects attract and same charged objects repel. The charge on both leaves is the same polarity so they repel each other.

What does an electrical charge represent?

An electrical charge represents how many protons or electrons are giving off energy. If there are more protons than electrons, you will get a positive charge. If there are more electrons than protons, you will get a negative charge. This is most commonly seen in the charging of car batteries.
