Calculate the formal charge on each atom of carbonyl chloride (COCI_2)? |
|
Answer» Solution :Formal charge =`N_(v)-[N_(l)+(N_(b))/(2)]` Carbonyl chloride `COCl_(2)`  Formalcharge on carbon atom = `4-[0+(8)/(2)]=4-4=0` Formal charge on CHLORINE atom `=7-[6+(2)/(2)]=7-7=0` Formal CHARGEON oxygen atom= `6-[4+(4)/(2)]=6-6=0` |
