(a)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The better Lewis structure for
Concept Introduction :
Rules for determining the best Lewis structure
- Smaller formal charges are preferred over larger formal charges
- Negative formal charges should reside on more electronegative atoms
- Like charges should not reside closer to each other.
Formal charge can be determined by following formula.
