Expert Solution
Step 1: Define formal charge

A formal charge is a charge that is given to an atom in a molecule with the condition that electrons in all the bonds in the given molecule are equally shared between the respective atoms. The concept of formal charge finds application in determining the most appropriate Lewis structure of a molecule. The Lewis structure of a molecule with the least formal charge on the atoms is the best Lewis structure of the molecule.

The calculation of formal charge (FC) on an atom in a molecule can be done using the equation given below:FC space equals space straight V minus space straight N minus space straight B over 2.... left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis

where: FC is the formal charge on the atom

V is the number of valence electrons. 

N is the number of non-bonding valence electrons.

B is the number of bonding electrons.
