What is formal charge on carbon in the following Lewis structure?
- A 0
- B 1
- C -1
- D 2
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 0
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\text {Formal charge}=\mathrm{VE}-\mathrm{NE}-(\mathrm{BE} / 2)\)
\(\therefore \text {Formal charge on } \mathrm{C}=4-0-(8 / 2)=0\)
\(\therefore \text {Formal charge on } \mathrm{C}=4-0-(8 / 2)=0\)
