Lewis structure for CH3MgBrand give the formal charge of each atom
Lewis structure
Formal Charge calculation
formal charge of carbon= Group number- Unpaired electron-Bonding electron/2
= 4-0-8/2
= 0
formal charge of Hydrogen= Group number- Unpaired electron-Bonding electron/2
=1-0-2/2
=1-1
= 0
formal charge of Mg= Group number- Unpaired electron-Bonding electron/2
= 2-0-4/2
=2-2
=0
formal charge of Bromine= Group number- Unpaired electron-Bonding electron/2
=7-6-2/2
=7-7
=0
