Suppose that there existed some process by which one could briefly violate conservation of charge by creating a charge " q " at a certain point in space, 1, moving it to some other point 2, and then destroying it.

Nuclear reactions may be shown in a form similar to chemical equations, for which invariant mass must balance for each side of the equation, and in which transformations of particles must follow certain conservation laws, such as conservation of charge and baryon number ( total atomic mass number ).
