Relative position charge

Processes which involve oxidation (the loss of electrons or the gain of relative positive charge) and reduction (the gain of electrons or the loss of relative positive charge) are typical of these reactions. Use of Table 8.1, the activity series of common metals, enables chemists to predict which oxidation-reduction reactions are possible. A more active metal, one higher in the table, is able to displace a less active metal, one listed lower in the table, from its aqueous salt. Thus aluminum metal displaces copper metal from an aqueous... 

ADP produces a conformational change that carries two K+ ions to the interior of the cell where they are released. The process builds up a charge gradient across the membrane because three Na+ ions are released for two K+ ions incorporated, and the outer surface becomes relatively positively charged.

It is the relative positively charged surface area (RPCS) restricted to H-bond donor atoms, i.e. the positively charged surface area corresponding to the most positively charged atom that is also a possible hydrogen donor.

Materials held together by van der Waals attractions often have a smell at room temperature (e.g., camphor and menthol). This is caused by the molecules escaping from the solid and subliming directly into the gas phase. The attractive forces between the molecules are weak. These forces arise from distortions in the electron cloud around the molecule, which cause some parts to be relatively positively charged, while other parts are relatively negative. 

The passage of a direct current of electricity through a reaction medium can cause both reductions and oxidations to occur. Reduction, the addition of electrons, e, can occur at the relatively negatively charged cathode, and oxidation, the loss of electrons, at the relatively positively charged anode. A simple example of an electrochemical process used to manufacture industrial chemicals occurs when a direct current is passed through molten sodium chloride, NaCl. At the cathode, sodium ion is reduced.
