Partial ionic charges

If a significant change of polarity takes place in the formation of the transition state from the reactants, we have to consider additional contributions to AV which are caused by differences in the electrostriction of the solvent under the influence of partial ionic charges [46]. For a transition state which involves much more charge separation than... 

Similar partial ionic charge development or intramolecular partial charge transfer among the aryl groups leads to a different kind of dissociation that has been proposed by Okamoto et al. [65] to occur in many TAM structures, including TAM-CNs. This work is discussed later in the section dealing with other reactions of TAM derivatives. 

Atoms are treated as single, spherical particles with radius determined by the atomic number there are no explicit electrons. Each atom maybe assigned a partial ionic charge based either on quantum-mechanical calculations or experimental data. 

Chemisorption occurs when the attractive potential well is large so that upon adsorption a strong chemical bond to a surface is fonued. Chemisorption involves changes to both the molecule and surface electronic states. For example, when oxygen adsorbs onto a metal surface, a partially ionic bond is created as charge transfers from the substrate to the oxygen atom. Other chemisorbed species interact in a more covalent maimer by sharing electrons, but this still involves perturbations to the electronic system. 

The charges on the oxygen atoms due to partial ionic character of the bonds to the metal atoms in the silicates and other salts should be taken into consideration in making this calculation. These charges lead to further decreases in the Si-O, P-O, S-O, and Cl-0 distances, of amount depending on the nature of the metal and the structure of the crystals. Because of uncertainties in the system of equations used in this paper, this refinement in the calculation has not been carried out. 

For sphalerite and wurtzite, for example, the discussion of partial ionic character as described above for molyde-nite leads to the resultant average charges +0.67 for sulfur and—0.67 for zinc. The distribution of the sulfur atoms is calculated to be 12% S2 (quadricovalent), 50 percent S+, 32 percent S°, 6 percent S-, 0.2% S2-. The observed bond length 2.34 A with the sulfur radius 1.03 A and the Schomaker-Stevenson correction 0.05 A leads to 5 = 1.36 A for zinc (quadricovalent Zn2-). The increase by 0.05 A over the value 1.309 A for sp3 bonds of Zn° is reasonable as the result of screening of the nucleus by the extra electrons. 

Because the Cl atom is more electronegative than the H atom, the bond pair is pulled towards the Cl atom. This results in a covalent bond with some partial ionic character the small charges present are indicated by a 8. 

Each hydration bond is partially ionic and partially covalent. Each oxygen atom (from the water molecules) donates a small amount of charge to the central sodium hence the ionicity. The orbitals also overlap to impart covalency to the bond.
