In the following electron dot structure, calculate the formal charge from left ot righ nitrogen atom. underset(..)overset(..)(N)=N=underset(..)overset(..)(N)

Answer»

`-1,-1,+1`
`-1,+1,-1`
`+1,-1,-1`
`+1,-1,+1`

Solution :FORMAL charge on an atom- total no. of VALENCE electron in FREE atom- total no. of non bonding electrons `-1/2` total no. of bonding electrons
`underset(1)underset(..)OVERSET(..)(N)=underset(2)(N)=underset(3)underset(..)overset(..)(N)`
`N_(1)=5-4-1/2xx4=5-6=-1`
`N_(2)=5-0-1/xx8=5-4=+1`
`N_(3)=5-4-1/2xx4=-1`
