Check ALL that are true of formal charges. O Formal charge can be used to determine the best resonance structure. O Formal charges of zero are most preferable. OA more negative formal charge should go on a more electronegative atom. A formal charge of -2 is better than a formal charge of +1 for any atom, because negative formal charge is better than positive formal charge.
