Use the References to access important values if needed for this question Formal Charge Formal Charge T The formal charge is the "charge" an element would have in a molecale or ion i all of the shared equally between atoms is the "charge" an element would have in a molecule or ion if all of the bonding electrons were Ci K Based on the Lewis structure given, the fermal charge on the Cl Based on the Lewis structure given the formal charge on tecentral phosphon atom is CI. . Retry Entire Group 4 more group attempts remaining

Explanation / Answer

Formula for formal charge: Valence electrons of central atom (non bonding electrons on central atom + number of bonds on central atom)

1st question Ans: Formal Charge = 5-(0+5)= 0

2nd question Ans: Formal Charge = 6-(2+3)= 1
