Why is assigning charges to various atoms Why is assigning charges to various atoms of a molecule of interest?of a molecule of interest?
Assigning charge to various atoms allowsAssigning charge to various atoms allows::
• Prediction of reactive sites in a moleculePrediction of reactive sites in a molecule
• Charge distribution determines all Charge distribution determines all molecular propertiesmolecular properties

Why isn’t there just one best method that everyone Why isn’t there just one best method that everyone uses to calculate atomic charge?uses to calculate atomic charge?• No concensus on what criteria to use to judge No concensus on what criteria to use to judge

Or is the better method one that’s Or is the better method one that’s able to able to account for anticipated changes in account for anticipated changes in charge distribution after various charge distribution after various perturbations to the moleculeperturbations to the molecule such as: such as:

• Let Let (r) be the electron density (r) be the electron density
• Gradient of Gradient of (r) is a vector that points in the direction of (r) is a vector that points in the direction of maximum increase in the density. One makes an maximum increase in the density. One makes an infinitesimal step in this direction and then recalculates infinitesimal step in this direction and then recalculates the gradient to obtain the new direction. By continued the gradient to obtain the new direction. By continued repetition of this process, one traces out a trajectory of repetition of this process, one traces out a trajectory of (r).(r).
