Susan tested the spare pack, which held a partial charge.

These partial charges are stationary with respect to the mass of the atom.

In those reactions, a nucleophile becomes attracted to a full or partial positive charge.

This partial positive charge can then form weak bonds by attraction from electrons in other molecules.

This group has a partial positive charge and therefore is susceptible to nucleophilic attack.

For more about issues with calculating atomic charges, see partial charge.

In molecular chemistry the lower case Greek letter δ is used to represent a partial charge.

This partial positive charge is better supported by the more substituted carbon.

These resonance forms can be used to assign partial charges to each of the atoms.

The resulting partial charges are a property only of zones within the distribution, and not the assemblage as a whole.
