Assigning oxygenated hemoglobin's oxidation state is difficult because oxyhemoglobin (Hb-O2), by experimental measurement, is diamagnetic (no net unpaired electrons), yet the lowest-energy (ground-state) electron configurations in both oxygen and iron are paramagnetic (suggesting at least one unpaired electron in the complex).
Assault is a tort, and means, in common law, that someone did wrong to another person. Under tort law, it is a civil action, but is also considered a criminal act. For our purposes, we will focus on the tort of assault. There are two parties to an assault, the plaintiff, who is the injured party, and the defendant, or tortfeasor who committed the assault.
Assault is held in sharp contrast to an aggravated assault which is considered the more series offense. An aggravated assault is a more violent and serious threat. An aggravated assault is typically made with a deadly weapon or with a clear intent to cause harm to the victim. Although the two are similar, examples or hypothetical situations can elucidate more clearly upon the definitions.
