What do we understand by fractional charge?
[like the atoms in Hydrogen bonding ... one attains positive Fractional charge and the other Negative fractional charge]
it is just thesame as partial charge.
the more electronegative has negative partial charge and hydrogen attains +ve partial charge normally.
can you also tell me: What is isolated Gaseous atom?
Vidisha,
An isolaed gaseous atom is the atom of an element(gas) which is monoatomic and faces no attraction or replusion forces from anywhere.
