I have wondered if heat and photons impart a partial charge on atoms and molecules which causes several phenomena. Faster Brownian motion due to the increased repelling action of stronger charges which cause pressure/volume changes in gasses.

Also are these charges responsible for some weather effects such as the jet stream. In a tornado is the negative charges on the dry side of the dry line interacting with the moist air on the wet side really just a local intense acceleration of the dry air trying to "get to" the oppositely charged moist air?

Are the rotation of low and high pressure systems basically due to the same condition? Is lightning also just basically a flood situation of the charges?

Charge can be pretty easily shown to be a conserved, quantized value. So chargeless particals imaprting a partial charge would be a big no-no.
