Thank you for your question!
The phenomenon you are referring to is known as conduction. A neutral object comes into contact with a charged one, which results in both objects having the same sign.
If a neutral ball comes into contact with a negative charged ball, it also becomes negatively charged. Because similar charges repel each other, the two balls will eventually repel.
