Question
Chapter 1, Problem 56P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The formal charge of carbon should be indicated from given set of species.
Concept Introduction:
- Lone-pair electrons are valence electrons that are not used in bonding.
- A proton is positively charged hydrogen ion. A hybrid ion is a negatively charged hydrogen ion.
- Formal charge = the number of valence electron – the number of electrons the atom has to itself (the entire lone pair electron and one – half of the bonding electrons).
- Lewis structure indicates which atom is bonded together and show lone pairs and formal charge.
