A sulfur atom that forms two bonds and has two lone pairs. |
A nitrogen atom that forms two bonds and has two lone pairs. |
A sulfur atom that forms four bonds and has one lone pair. |
A nitrogen atom that forms four bonds and has no lone pairs. |
A phosphorus atom that forms three bonds and has one lone pair. |
An oxygen atom that forms three bonds and has one lone pair. |
A sulfur atom that forms two bonds and has two lone pairs.
formal charge of S = 6-1/2*4-4 = 0
A nitrogen atom that forms two bonds and has two lone pairs.
formal charge of N = 5-1/2*4-4 = -1
A sulfur atom that forms four bonds and has one lone pair
formal charge of S = 6-1/2*8-2 = 0
A nitrogen atom that forms four bonds and has no lone pairs. >>>>answer
formal charge of N = 5-1/2*8-0 = +1
A phosphorus atom that forms three bonds and has one lone pair.
formal charge of P = 5-1/2*6-2 = 0
An oxygen atom that forms three bonds and has one lone pair. >>>>>answer
formal charge of O = 6-1/2*6-2 = +1
