  2. Formal charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_charge

    Formal charges in ozone and the nitrate anion. In chemistry, a formal charge (F.C. or q*), in the covalent view of chemical bonding, is the hypothetical charge assigned to an atom in a molecule, assuming that electrons in all chemical bonds are shared equally between atoms, regardless of relative electronegativity.

  3. Floating charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_charge

    In finance, a floating charge is a security interest over a fund of changing assets of a company or other legal person.Unlike a fixed charge, which is created over ascertained and definite property, a floating charge is created over property of an ambulatory and shifting nature, such as receivables and stock.

  4. Float voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_voltage

    Float voltage is the voltage at which a battery is maintained after being fully charged to maintain that capacity by compensating for self-discharge of the battery. [1] The voltage could be held constant for the entire duration of the cell's operation (such as in an automotive battery) or could be held for a particular phase of charging by the charger. [2]

  5. Trickle charging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickle_charging

    Trickle charging is the process of charging a fully charged battery at a rate equal to its self-discharge rate, enabling the battery to remain at its fully charged level. This state occurs almost exclusively when the battery is not loaded, as trickle charging will not keep a battery charged if current is being drawn by a load.

  6. Illingworth v Houldsworth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illingworth_v_Houldsworth

    A specific charge, I think, is one that without more fastens on ascertained and definite property or property capable of being ascertained and defined; a floating charge, on the other hand, is ambulatory and shifting in its nature, hovering over and so to speak floating with the property which it is intended to affect until some event occurs or ...

  7. Pauling's principle of electroneutrality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauling's_principle_of...

    There are two possible structures for hydrogen cyanide, HCN and CNH, differing only as to the position of the hydrogen atom. The structure with hydrogen attached to nitrogen, CNH, leads to formal charges of -1 on carbon and +1 on nitrogen, which would be partially compensated for by the electronegativity of nitrogen and Pauling calculated the net charges on H, N and C as -0.79, +0.75 and +0.04 ...

  8. Dangling bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangling_bond

    On the other hand, since there are fixed charges (Q f) in the dielectric film, these fixed charges establish an electric field that repels one type of charge carrier and accumulates the other type at the interface. This repletion assures reducing one type of the charge carriers concentration at the interface wherein the recombination decreases ...

  9. Electric charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_charge

    Electric charge (symbol q, sometimes Q) is a physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field. Electric charge can be positive or negative. Like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other. An object with no net charge is referred to as electrically neutral.
