The accuracy of charge-transfer excitation energies, solvatochromic shifts and other environmental effects calculated via various density embedding techniques depend critically on the approximations employed for the non-additive non-interacting kinetic energy functional, $T_{\scriptscriptstyle\rm s}^{\scriptscriptstyle\rm nad}[n]$. Approximating this functional remains an important challenge in electronic structure theory. To assist in the development and testing of approximations for $T_{\scriptscriptstyle\rm s}^{\scriptscriptstyle\rm nad}[n]$, we derive two virial relations for fragments in molecules. These establish separate connections between the non-additive kinetic energies of the non-interacting and interacting systems of electrons, and quantities such as the electron-nuclear attraction forces, the partition (or embedding) energy and potential, and the Kohn-Sham potentials of the system and its parts. We numerically verify both relations on diatomic molecules.
