Charge separation means the positive and the negative charge are not present together but are separated from each other in a molecule. This usually arises when the bonding electrons between two atoms are not shared equally and are present closer to one atom than the other.1 Dec 2012

There are only two types of charge, one called positive and the other called negative. Like charges repel, whereas unlike charges attract. The force between charges decreases with distance.

early 13c., pinchen, "to pluck (an eyebrow);" mid-14c. "compress between the finger and thumb or some device, squeeze between two hard, opposing bodies," from Old North French *pinchier "to pinch, squeeze, nip; steal" (Old French pincier, Modern French pincer), a word of uncertain origin, possibly from Vulgar Latin *punctiare "to pierce," which might be a blend of Latin punctum "point" + *piccare "to pierce."
