In the following electron - dot structure, calculate the formal charge from left to right nitrogen atom; \(\ddot{\mathrm{N}}=\mathrm{N}=\ddot{\mathrm{N}}\)

  1. A \(-1,-1,+1\)
  2. B \(-1,+1,-1\)
  3. C \(+1,-1,-1\)
  4. D \(+1,-1,+1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-1,+1,-1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hints: Formal chargl= Number of electrons in Valence shell \(-\left(\frac{1}{2} \times\right.\) numbers of electrons as bond pair + numbers of electrons as lone pair) \(\begin{gathered} 1 \quad~~ 2 ~~\quad 3\\ : \ddot{\mathrm{N}}=\mathrm{N}=\ddot{\mathrm{N}}: \end{gathered}\)…
