Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Atoms that have a positive charge will be ATTRACTED to atoms with a ____ charge.
A
positive
B
negative
C
neutral
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Since opposite charges attract each other, the negatively charged electrons are attracted to the positively charged protons. Tell students that this attraction is what holds the atom together.

Detailed explanation-2: -If a positive charge and a negative charge interact, their forces act in the same direction, from the positive to the negative charge. As a result opposite charges attract each other: The electric field and resulting forces produced by two electrical charges of opposite polarity. The two charges attract each other.

Detailed explanation-3: -Any charged object-whether positively charged or negatively charged-will have an attractive interaction with a neutral object. Positively charged objects and neutral objects attract each other; and negatively charged objects and neutral objects attract each other.

Detailed explanation-4: -As nucleus is positively charged and electron is negatively charged in an atom, both of them having opposite charges then why they did not attract each other.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: A negatively charged atom is called an anion. Anions are usually formed when non metals accept additional electrons from metallic elements. These anions are then capable of forming ionic bonds with the metals which lost electrons to become positively charged cations.
