Interpretation:
The formal charge on each atom and the net charge in the given species are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Chemical compounds contain two types of bonds. These are known as ionic and covalent bonds. In ionic bonds, the ions are held by the electrostatic interaction between them. In covalent bonds, the atoms are held together by the sharing of electrons. The formal charge is the charge on the constituent atoms in a molecule. It is calculated by using valence electrons of the atom.
