Calculate the formula charge on each atom in a underset(* *)overset(* *)(":"O)-overset(* *)(S)=underset(* *)(O":")

Answer»

Solution :Formula charge on S atom `=6-2-1//2xx6=+1`
Formula charge on double BONDED O atom `=6-4-1//2xx4=0`
Formal charge on single bonded O atom `=6-6-1//2xx2=-1`
The molecule in terms of formal charge MAY be represented as : `overset(-1)overset(* *)UNDERSET(* *)(":"O)-overset(+1)overset(* *)(S)=overset(0)underset(* *)(O":")`
