Question

how can we calculate formal charge on an atom in a molecule depicted by Lewis structure​

Answer 1

Answer:

Since a chemical bond has two electrons, the “number of bonding electrons divided by 2” is by definition equal to the number of bonds surrounding the atom. So we can instead use this shortcut formula: Formal Charge = [# of valence electrons on atom] – [non-bonded electrons + number of bonds
