If a glass rod is rubbed with silk it becomes positive and silk gains same amount of negative charge so the total charge before and after the reaction is same so charge never be created nor be destroyed but transferred from one body to other.
5) Conservation of charges in tribo electric charging
implies one is positively charged and the other is negatively charged.

repel each other
Unlike charges attract while like charges repel each other so between two positive charges repulsion is working.
charges can take on discrete values that are multiples of charge on electron
Total charge transferred from one body to other can be calculated by the number of electrons it is known as quantisation of charge given by q=?ne, where n= number of electrons , which should be an integer.
gain or loss of one or more electrons
It is not possible to remove or add protons to atom, but electron can be added or removed by an atom easily so charge can be developed on an atom removing or adding electrons , by adding becomes negative ,by removing becomes positive.
force exerted by one charge on another when the two are at rest in a given frame of reference
Electrostatics means charges at rest ,or relatively at rest so this force can be applicable only when charge produce electric field which is constant which is possible only when charges at rest or relatively at rest.
