Define formal charge and explain how to calculate it. What is the purpose of the formal charge? Organic compounds are composed mostly of carbon and hydrogen but also may have oxygen, nitrogen, and/or halogens in the formula. Formal charge arguments work very well for organic compounds when drawing the best Lewis structure. How do C, H, N, O, and Cl satisfy the octet rule in organic compounds so as to have a formula charge of zero?
Based on the concept of formal charge, what is the central atom in (a) HCN (do not include H as a possibility)? b) NOCI (Cl is always a terminal atom)?
Write Lewis structures for the following: (a) O2 (b) H2CO (c) AsF3 (d) ClNO (e) SiCl4 (f) H3O+ (g) NH4+ (h) BF4 (i) HCCH (j) ClCN (k) C22+
Chloromethane has the Lewis structure _______________________________ The carbon atom is sharing 4 electron pairs. In each shared pair the carbon atom “owns” 1 electron. The number of electrons that “belong” to carbon is ___. Carbon, being a Group ___ element would have 4 , outer shell electrons in the unbonded, neutral state. Therefore, the carbon atom in chloromethane has a formal charge of zero.
What is meant by a chemical bond? Why do atoms form bonds with each other? Why do some elements exist as molecules in nature instead of as free atoms?
Write a Lewis structure for the NO3 - ion. Include resonance structures?
For the anion IF4- How many total valence electrons should the Lewis structure show? What is the formal charge on I? What is the molecular geometry of this ion? Is the molecule polar?
How many lone (non-bonding) pairs are on the central atom for P033-, in the Lewis structure?
Calculate the formal charge on the indicated atom in eachof the following molecules or ions: (a) the central oxygenatom in O3, (b) phosphorus in PF6-, (c) nitrogen in NO2,(d) iodine in ICl3, (e) chlorine in HClO4 (hydrogen is bondedto O).
1. What is the formal charge on each atom in CH3Cl and the Lewis structure for it? 2. What is the formal charge on each atom in PH4 nd the Lewis structure for it? 3. What is the formal charge on each atom in HNO3 and the Lewis structure for it?
Draw the Lewis Structure of sulfate (SO4^2-) that minimizes charge. Include all electrons and formal charges.
In N2O, nitrogen is the central atom and the oxygen atom is terminal. In OF2, however, oxygen is the central atom. Use formal charges to explain why.
