I Review | Constants Periodic Tab
A bonded atom is considered to "own" all its nonbonding electrons but only half of the bonding electrons because these are shared with another atom. Therefore, the
formal charge formula can be rewritten as follows:

nonbonding e

Part A
Due to the small and highly electronegative nature of fluorine, the oxyacids of the this element are much less common and less stable than those of the other
halogens. Bonding theory, however, does allow one to propose structures for these acids and use formal charges for the evaluation of these structures. For a molecule
of fluorous acid, the atoms are arranged as HOFO. (Note: In this oxyacid, the placement of fluorine is an exception to the rule of putting the more electronegative
atom in a terminal position.)
What is the formal charge on each of the atoms? Enter the formal charges in the same order as the atoms are listed.
Express your answers as charges separated by comma. For example, a positive one charge would be written as +1.
