Expert Solution
Step 1

It is given that the compounds with there provisional lewis structures and the formal charges for the central atom need to be calculated the formula for calculating the formal charge is shown below,

Formal charge = no. of valence electrons - no. of nonbonding valence electrons - total number of bonded electrons2 

Step 2

The formal charges for the central atom in the given structures are shown below,

For CH2Cl2,= 4 - 0 - 82=0For BrF2+,= 7 - 4 - 42= +1For B(OH)4-,= 3 - 0 - 82= -1For BeH2,= 2 - 0 - 42= 0
