Question

(1) Assertion: In case of polyatomic ions, the net charge is possessed by the iones a
whole and not by a particular atom.
Reason: The formal charge of an atom in a polyatomic molecule orios may be defined
as the difference betwcen the number of valence electrons of that atom in aa
isolated or free state and the number of electrons assigned to that atom in the
Lewis structure​
