Can a positively charged and negatively charged object charge by conducting? If so, is it possible to make a neutral charge again?

Positive/negative electron transfer is a process in which electrons are transferred from one atom or molecule to another. This transfer can be either positive, where electrons are gained, or negative, where electrons are lost.
Positive/negative electron transfer is crucial in many chemical reactions, as it allows for the transfer of energy and the formation of new compounds. It also plays a role in the functioning of biological systems, such as photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
The direction of electron transfer is influenced by the relative electronegativities of the atoms or molecules involved. The more electronegative atom or molecule will tend to gain electrons, while the less electronegative one will tend to lose electrons.
Oxidation refers to the loss of electrons, while reduction refers to the gain of electrons. In electron transfer reactions, one substance is oxidized while another is reduced.
Positive/negative electron transfer is the basis of electricity, as it involves the movement of electrons between atoms or molecules. Electric currents are created when electrons flow from a negatively charged source to a positively charged one.
