Question

Calculate the formal charges on each of the atoms. except hydrogens, of these molecules and determine the total charge of the species:

Answer 1

formal charge = number of valency electrons in free state-number of lonepar electrons around that atom-number of bonds around that atom Calculate the formal charges on each of the atoms, except hydrogens, of these mole- cules and determine the total charge of the species: c) F FCon B = 3-0-4=-1 FCon C = 4-0-4=0 aH HC -O-H on o 6-2-3-+1 CF overall charge =-1 overall charge +1 FC on N 5-0-4 +1 b)H FC on C 4-0-40 FC on O6-6-1--1 fC on double bonded O 6-4-20 FC on last O 6-6-1-1 overall charge -1 Glycine Ean amino acidi overall charge 0 e) O: FC on middle N 5-0-4 +1 Fc on last N 5-4-2 =-1 overall charge 0 d) H 0: fC on double bonded O 6-4-2 fC on last O 6-6-1 -1 overall charge 0
