Question

Calculate the formal charge of each atom of O 3

Answer 1

Answer:

-1,0,1

Explanation:

A formal charge is equal to the number of valence electrons of an atoms MINUS the number of electrons assigned to an atom

O3 RESONANCE STRUCTURE

Answer 2

Answer:

Ozone or trioxygen, is an inorganic molecule with the chemical formula of O3. It is a pale blue gas with a distinctively pungent smell. It is an allotrope of oxygen that is much less stable than the diatomic allotrope O2(dioxygen). Ozone is formed with dioxygen by the action of ultraviolet rays( UV) and electrical discharges within the earth's atmosphere. It is present in very low concentrations throughout the latter, with its highest concentration high in the ozone layer of the stratosphere, which absorbs most of the Sun's ultraviolet(UV) radiation.

Explanation:

In chemistry, a formal charge os the charge assigned to an atom in a molecule, assuming that electrons in all chemical bonds are shared equally between atoms, regardless of relative electronegativity

The formal charge of Ozone is -1,0,1
