physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when near other electrically charged matter. Electric charge comes in two types, called positive and negative. Two positively charged substances, or objects, experience a mutual repulsive force, as do two negatively charged objects. Positively charged objects and negatively charged objects experience an attractive force. The SI unit of electric charge is the coulomb (C) think of it as two soulmates who meet get togeather and stick! Bond for life. Atoms all want a full outer shell (first shell holds a maximum of 2 electrons, the rest hold 8 and if one Atom has an outer shell with seven it attracts another chardes particle called an electron which is negatively charged. A full outer shell makes a happy atom (not reactive)
