37. Calculate the formal charge of Cl in the structure shown below :0: A. - 1 B. 0 C. -2 D. +1

Answer 1

calculate the formal charge of I in the structure shown below. -1 ce 11 :0; soln have to find in this question formal charge of chlorine in celou Now, :- formal charge. total number of valance electron Bonding ) 2 total number 1 of non bone inding electron or Lone bair electron electron

so valance electron of oxygen - 6 valance electron of chlorine -? given structiore is :03 -1 : 0 all = chlorine for Total number of v. t = 7 Total number non bonded electron =.2 of bonded electron Total number of

30 formal charge of chlorine is Total number total number I 2 Bonding of U.E of non bonding electron electron so, formal charge of chlorine is 7 2 ㅗ (10) 2 301 formal charge of chlorine in clog is a so, correct option is В
