What must happen to a positively charged object in order to become neutral?

That depends on the strength of the positive charge. If I have an atom of gold that has been ionized so that it has a charge of +2, I can neutralize that charge by bombarding the atom with a stream of electrons until it has captured two electrons. If it captures more than two, I could bombard it with a proton stream, which would neutralize it as well as change the atoms atomic number, thereby changing the element that the atom comprises. The higher the positivity, the more electrons you will need to cancel the charge out.

What would happen is a positively charged sodium ion and a negatively charged chlorine ion came into contact?
they will loose electrons
What might happen if a negatively charged ion comes into contact with a positively charged ion?
They combine to form ionic bond.These bonds are strong.
What happen when a negatively charged item gets near a neutral item?
The neutral object will probably get an induced polarity.
What would happen if a positively charged sodium ion and negatively charged chlorine ion came into contact?
The ionic compound sodium chloride is formed.
What will happen if a light neutral conductor is brought near a negatively charged object?
They will explode
What happen to a positively-charged alpha particle that comes near the positively-charged nucleus?
It will repel
What will happen to the positively charged balloon ad a soft drink can?
The positively charged balloon and a soft drink can will pull negatively charged objects towards them
What will happen if a negatively charged object is brought near a suspended positively charged object?
attrack
What will happen if you place a positively charged object near as negatively charged object?
There will be a force of attraction between them.
If some amount of positive charge is given to a soap bubble what will happen to it?
It will be attracted to any negatively charged objects and repelled by any positively charged objects. It will probably be mildly attracted by neutral objects but this would be a much smaller effect.
What would happen is a positively charged sodium ion and a negatively charged chlorine ion came into contact?
they will loose electrons
What happen to the movement of electrons if you ground a possitively charged object?
Electrons would flow from the ground, into the positively charged object.
What would happen if you touched a knob of positivly charged electroscope with another positivel charged object?
They repeal each other because they are each positively charged.
What would happen if you touch the knob of a positively charged electroscope with another positively charged object?
Like charges repel. Unlike charges attract. Therefore, you would expect them to repel each other.
