When it comes to electrical forces, "opposites charges attract" while "like charges repel."
There are primarily two types of charges: positive charge and negative charge. The forces they exert upon each other will depend on their charges. The<u> positive charge has an </u><em><u>attractive force</u></em><u> to a negative charge.</u> On the contrary,<u> it has a</u><em><u> repulsive force</u></em><u> to the same positive charge</u>. Thus, it will repel each other.
So this means that <em>opposite charges will draw closer together</em> while<em> like charges will move apart from each other.</em>
Salts are compounds that contain positively charged ions and negatively charged ions. That is; they consist of the positive ion of a base and the negative ion of an acid.
Salts may be produced when acids and bases are combined together in equal proportions, a process called neutralization.
During neutralization reactions an acid reacts with a base to form a salt and water as the only products.
