Carbon is a little strange in that it does not always follow the octet rule. We will learn about this later in the course. For now know that:
• C with three bonds and a lone pair must have a −1 formal charge.
• C with three bonds and no lone pair must have a +1 formal charge.
a. Draw an example of a molecule containing a carbon with a −1 formal charge.
b. Draw an example of a molecule containing a carbon with a +1 formal charge.
