Calculate the formal charge on each atom of carbonyl chloride (COCl_(2)) |
|
Answer» Solution :Formal CHARGE `= N_(v)-[N_(1)+(N_(B))/(2)]` Carbonyl chloride `COC1_(2)`:  Formal charge on carbon atom `= 4 - [0+(8)/(2)]=4-4=0` Formal charge on chlorine atom `= 7 - [6 + (2)/(2)]= 7-7 = 0` Formal charge on oxygen atom `= 6 - [4+ (4)/(2)]=6-6=0` |
