Chapter 1, Problem 1.7P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Whether in the given ion, the formal charge gives a fairly accurate picture of where the charge really is present is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

A charge that is assigned to an atom, on the assumption that all the electrons in the chemical bonds are equally shared, is known as the formal charge. The sum of the formal charges on the independent atoms should equal the total charge present on the ion.

The formal charge on an atom is calculated by the formula,

Formal charge=Valence electrons[Nonbonding electrons+12(Bonding electrons)]
