Formal charge on radical cation in organic chemistry ? Exp in detail

Answer»

Let's take the example of th methyl carbocation CH3+,In CH3+:two electrons in a lone pair, and 3 bonds, each to a hydrogen.

So the formal charge on H3C: is(Valence Electrons) - (Electrons in Lone Pairs) - (# of bonds)= 4 - 2 - 3= -1
