In summary: Please, don't start this again, you will only confuse the OP and others even more. We have a definition of charge which explains what the OP is asking. I suggest you defer to that unless someone wants to talk about theoretical physics or something.

1. What is a charge?

A charge is a fundamental property of matter that describes the amount of electrical force between particles. It can be either positive or negative, and is measured in units called coulombs.

2. What are positive and negative ions?

Positive and negative ions are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost electrons, respectively. This results in an imbalance of positive or negative charge, making them electrically charged particles.

3. How do positive and negative ions interact?

Positive and negative ions are attracted to each other due to their opposite charges. This attraction can result in the formation of ionic bonds, which are strong bonds between positive and negative ions.

4. What are some examples of positive and negative ions?

Examples of positive ions include sodium (Na+), calcium (Ca2+), and potassium (K+). Examples of negative ions include chloride (Cl-), fluoride (F-), and nitrate (NO3-).

5. How do positive and negative ions affect our daily lives?

Positive and negative ions play important roles in many aspects of our daily lives. For example, they are essential for the functioning of our nervous system, and are also used in various industrial processes such as water treatment and battery production.
