Quantum mechanics predicts that charge is quantized, meaning it can only exist in multiples of the elementary charge. This concept is based on experimental observations that show the discrete nature of charge, with all charged particles exhibiting charges that are integer multiples of the elementary charge.
A positively or negatively charged object can have multiples of the fundamental charge because the charge on an object is quantized, meaning it can only exist in discrete amounts. The fundamental charge is the smallest unit of charge found in nature, and objects can accumulate multiple units of this charge through gaining or losing electrons.
A charged object has multiples of the fundamental charge because the charge of an object is determined by the number of excess or deficient electrons it has gained or lost. Each electron carries a charge equal to the fundamental charge, so the total charge of the object will be a multiple of this value.
An electron is negatively charged.
Positively charged objects have an excess of protons compared to electrons, while negatively charged objects have an excess of electrons compared to protons. These imbalances in charge cause positively charged objects to attract negatively charged objects and repel other positively charged objects, and vice versa for negatively charged objects.
Positively charged objects gain electrons to become negatively charged. Negatively charged objects lose electrons to become positively charged. This exchange of electrons creates an imbalance of positive and negative charges, leading to the attraction between the objects.

Negatively charge
Cathodes are negatively charged.
An electron is negatively charged.
Electrophiles are positively charged.
I believe they'd are positively charged.
Cations are positively charged ions.
Negatively charged
An ion is both positively and negatively charged.
Positively charged objects have an excess of protons compared to electrons, while negatively charged objects have an excess of electrons compared to protons. These imbalances in charge cause positively charged objects to attract negatively charged objects and repel other positively charged objects, and vice versa for negatively charged objects.
