Electrostatic Forces
Electrostatic forces refer to the force between particles caused by their electric charge (positively charged as protons, or negatively charged as electrons). They are the reaction between two or more charged objects. If the objects are oppositely charged they will be attracted to each other but if they are both charged the same way they will repel. These protons and electrons want to become neutrons. As these protons and electrons can jump from one object to another these reactions can occur when the objects are not physically touching each other.
