  2. Partial charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_charge

    Partial charges are also often used for a qualitative understanding of the structure and reactivity of molecules. Occasionally, δδ+ is used to indicate a partial charge that is less positively charged than δ+ (likewise for δδ-) in cases where it is relevant to do so. [2] This can be extended to δδδ+ to indicate even weaker partial ...

    The sulfate or sulphate ion is a polyatomic ... The sulfate ion carries an overall charge of −2 and it is the ... confirms a clear positive charge on sulfur ...

  4. Electrophilic aromatic directing groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophilic_aromatic...

    On the other hand, the nitrobenzene resonance structures have positive charges around the ring system: The nitro group can withdraw electron density through resonance. Attack occurs at the meta position, since the (partial) formal positive charges at the ortho and para positions indicate electron deficiency at these positions.

  5. Salt (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(chemistry)

    For example, FeSO 4 is named iron(2+) sulfate (with the 2+ charge on the Fe 2+ ions balancing the 2− charge on the sulfate ion), whereas Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 is named iron(3+) sulfate (because the two iron ions in each formula unit each have a charge of 3+, to balance the 2− on each of the three sulfate ions). [108]

  6. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    Two charges are present with a negative charge in the middle (red shade), and a positive charge at the ends (blue shade). In chemistry , polarity is a separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an electric dipole moment , with a negatively charged end and a positively charged end.

  7. Nucleophile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleophile

    Neutral nucleophilic reactions with solvents such as alcohols and water are named solvolysis. Nucleophiles may take part in nucleophilic substitution, whereby a nucleophile becomes attracted to a full or partial positive charge, and nucleophilic addition. Nucleophilicity is closely related to basicity.

  8. Solvation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvation

    The part with more electron density will experience a partial negative charge while the part with less electron density will experience a partial positive charge. Polar solvent molecules can solvate polar solutes and ions because they can orient the appropriate partially charged portion of the molecule towards the solute through electrostatic ...

  9. Nucleophilic addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleophilic_addition

    These types of bonds are polar (have a large difference in electronegativity between the two atoms); consequently, their carbon atoms carries a partial positive charge. This makes the molecule an electrophile, and the carbon atom the electrophilic center; this atom is the primary target for the nucleophile.
