Question

What is the formula for calculating formal charge?

Answer 1

Hola mate..

the “number of bonding electrons divided by 2” term is also equal to the number of bonds surrounding the atom, here's the shortcut formula: Formal Charge = [# of valence electrons on atom] – [non-bonded electrons + number of bonds]. Let's apply it to some examples. for example BH4 (top left corner).

Hope this helps u dude ✌
