Formal charge = ( no. of valance electrons in neutral atom) - ( no. of non bonded electrons or in lone pairs ) - (1/2)( no. of electrons in bond)
Formal charge = VE - NBE - (1/2)BE
VE - valance electrons
NBE - non bonded electrons
BE - bonded electrons
As for CH 4
C have VE = 4 , NBE = 0, BE = 8 ( 4 from hydrogen +4 it's own)
Formal charge on C = 4-0- (1/2)8 = 4 - 4 = 0
For H = 1 - 0 - (1/2) 2 = 1- 1 = 0
NOW for (CH 3 ) 3COH
For O - VE = 6 , NBE = 4 , BE = 4
Formal charge on O
= 6 -4 -(1/2)4 =6 - 4 - 2 = 0
