Question

what do you mean by following o ,o3, 3,o ,3o3, P,Py,4p,4py,3p,3p4​

Answer 1

Answer:

Thus the formal charge of each O atom is

 −3/4 =−0.75.

Note: 

To calculate the formal charge, the following formula is used.

Formal Charge = [Number of valence electrons on atom] – [non-bonded electrons + number of bonds]

For O atom that forms double bond with P atom,

Formal Charge = 6] – [4 +2] = 0.

For O atom that forms single bond with P atom,

Formal Charge = 6] – [6 +1] =− 1.
