Question

The formal charges on the three oxygen atoms in O, molecule are
1) 0, 0, 0
2) 0, 0, -1
3) 0,0 + 1
4) 0, +1, -1​

Answer 1

Answer:

opition 4

Explanation:

Notice that even though theatoms have varying formal charges, the overall charge of O3 is the sum of the formal charges in the molecule: 0+1+(−1)=0 . Ions' formal charge sums are ≠0 .
