Dear readers I have more of a question than anything else and I was wondering if anyone could help with it. 

Can an assortment of chemicals mixed create a magnetic or electric charge? if so what types of chemicals would be used in such a process?

I believe the short answer is no. 

However, I suppose you could call a steel a chemical compound and the steel could be magnetized but I assume that is not what you are talking about.

I also suppose you could call a wet cell battery a chemical compound that can produce an electric charge but again I assume this is not what you are talking about.

A fuel cell is another chemical way to produce a current.

Finally, if you put salt into water you have a plethora of electrically charged ions that make the liquid very conductive but the overall charge of the solution is neutral.

 

Maybe if you went a bit more into depth as to what you are looking for I could better answer your question.
