Question

Calculate the formal charge of each oxygen atoms in ozone

Answer 1

Answer :  The formal charge of each oxygen atom in ozone $O_1,O_2\text{ and }O_3$ are 0, +1 and -1 respectively.

Explanation :

First we have to draw Lewis-dot structure of ozone, $O_3$.

Oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in ozone, $O_3$ = 3(6) = 18

According to electron-dot structure, there are 12 number of bonding electrons and 6 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to calculate the formal charges of each oxygen atom.

Formula for formal charge :

$\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}$

$\text{Formal charge on }O_1=6-4-\frac{4}{2}=0$

$\text{Formal charge on }O_2=6-2-\frac{6}{2}=+1$

$\text{Formal charge on }O_1=6-6-\frac{2}{2}=-1$

The Lewis-dot structure are shown below.
