In the following electron - dot structure, calculate the formal charge from left to right nitrogen atom; \(\ddot{\mathrm{N}}=\mathrm{N}=\ddot{\mathrm{N}}\)
- A \(-1,-1,+1\)
- B \(-1,+1,-1\)
- C \(+1,-1,-1\)
- D \(+1,-1,+1\)
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) \(\begin{gathered} 1 \quad~~ 2 ~~\quad 3\\ : \ddot{\mathrm{N}}=\mathrm{N}=\ddot{\mathrm{N}}: \end{gathered}\)…
