Calculate formal charge on each O-atom ofO_(3) molecule. |
Answer» Solution : Lewis structure of ` O_(3)` is : The ATOMS have been numbered as 1, 2 and 3. Formal charge on end O-atom numbered `1 = 6 - 4 - (1)/(2) (4) = 0 ` Formal charge on end O-atom numbered 2 = ` 6 - 2 - (1)/(2) (6) = + 1` Formal charge on end O-atom numbered ` 3 = 6 - 6 - (1)/(2) (2) = - 1` Hence, we represent ` O_(3)`along with formal charges as
