They just do. Really. No one really knows. It's like gravity. Everyone knows it works, but no one really knows why.
Sure someone can say opposites charges attract, but they don't know why. They just know they do. The charges create a force between the two objects that makes them attract eachother but on a fundamental level no one know why. If you have any scientific question, it will only take a few follow-up questions consisting of only "Why?" to arrive at a question no one can answer.

Opposite charges attract. Law of physics for electrical charge flow. Atoms with surplus electrons are called negative ions and those lacking electrons are called positive ions. There is an electrical force that draws the positive to the negative and vice versa to complete the circuit.

Electromagnetics. All atoms have a set amount of electrons associated with them. If they have too few they will have a positive charge as they need to have an additional electron. If they have one too many electrons they have a negative charge and need to get rid of one electron.

because opposites attract and like charges repel? I dont know if that's what your looking for.

Because they like to form ionic bonds, silly goose.

Proper spelling?

because they want to form an ionic bond and something about them being polar or nonpolar?
