Determine the formal charges on all atoms in the molecules.
a. :N=N=N:
b. : CEO:
C.
:0:
O.N.O


Sagot :

Formal charge = number of valence electron - 1/2 bonded electron - lone pair electron

a. N3 =  number of valence electron - 1/2 bonded electron - lone pair e-

    = 5 - 2/4 - 4

    = -1

b. CO = number of valence electron - 1/2 bonded electron - lone pair e-

         Charge on carbon

       =  4 - 2 - 6/2

        = -1

charge on oxygen

number of valence electron - 1/2 bonded electron - lone pair e-

= 6 - 2 - 6/2

  = +1

c. NO3

by making structure we found that each oxygen has different charge in this compound.

O = -1, -1 , 0

N = 0
