I remember the word "valence" from chemistry classes. But chemistry or physics is not what brought me to this article. I'm trying to find out whether "valence" can be used metaphorically to describe something, such as a "thought," that has a certain "charge" to it almost like an electrical charge. Can "valence" be used (metaphorically) as a synonym for something that has a certain polarity or "charge?" If "valence" can be used metaphorically to describe something outside of the realm of science maybe that could be added to the article. 2600:8801:BE01:7C00:384E:582A:B8E:C3EE (talk) 18:39, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
