gm.....

what is the formal charge??
how it is calculated?? explain it with example?????​

Answer 1

Answer:

Remember that formal charge is calculated by taking the # of valence electrons, minus the lone electrons and the bonds, and we show that charge next to the molecule. Take ::O=C=O:: for example. Each O's formal charge would be calculated by: 6 (valence) - 4 (lone electrons) - 2 (bonds) = 0.

Answer 2

$\color{Red}{ANSWER}$

Formal Charge = [# of valence electrons on atom] – [non-bonded electrons + number of bonds]. Let's apply it to someexamples. for example BH4(top left corner). The number of valence electrons for boron is 3.
