Lewis structure formal charge oxidation number... [Pg.26]

For Xe03 (26 valence electrons) we can draw the following possible Lewis structures (formal charges are indicated in parentheses) ... [Pg.626]

You may recall that we had to decide whether to draw the double bond between C and O or between C and Cl. We decided in favor of a carbon—oxygen double bond by applying the simple idea that multiple bonds most likely involve C, N, O, and S atoms. In this section, we will describe how you can use the concept of formal charge to determine the best Lewis formula. Formal charge is also a help in writing the skeleton structure of a molecule.

Like nitric acid each of the following inorganic compounds will be frequently encountered in this text Calculate the formal charge on each of the atoms in the Lewis structures given... [Pg.19]

The formal charges are shown in the Lewis structure of thionyl chloride... [Pg.19]

Formal charges are based on Lewis structures m which electrons are considered to be shared equally between covalently bonded atoms Actually polarization of N—H bonds m ammonium ion and of B—H bonds m borohydride leads to some transfer of positive and negative charge respectively to the hydrogens... [Pg.19]

None of the atoms in the Lewis structure shown in step 6 possesses a formal charge An alternative Lewis structure for methyl nitrite... [Pg.20]

Each contributing Lewis structure must have the same number of electrons and the same net charge although the formal charges of individual atoms may vary among the various Lewis struc tures... [Pg.27]

Electron Delocalization in the Conjugate Base With a of —1 4 nitnc acid is almost completely ionized m water If we look at the Lewis structure of nitric acid m light of what we have said about inductive effects we can see why The N atom m nitric acid IS not only electronegative m its own right but bears a formal charge of +1 which enhances its ability to attract electrons away from the —OH group... [Pg.42]

All the following compounds are charactenzed by ionic bonding between a group I metal cation and a tetrahedral anion Wnte an appropriate Lewis structure for each anion remembenng to specify formal charges where they exist... [Pg.50]

What IS the formal charge of oxygen in each of the following Lewis structures ... [Pg.51]

Keeping the same atomic connections and moving only electrons write a more stable Lewis structure for each of the following Be sure to specify formal charges if any in the new structure... [Pg.52]

Organic chemists have devised a very simple set of rule allowing assignment of a formal charge for each atom o a particular Lewis structure. [Pg.38]
