According to the Lewis dot structure for ozone, what is the formal charge on the central oxygen atom?
`overset(..)underset(..)O=overset(..)O-overset(..)underset(..)O:`

A

`-1`

B

`+2`

C

0

D

`+1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Formula charge = number of valence electrons `- (1)/(2)`
number of electrons in bond pairs - number of electrons in lone pair,
For `O_(3)`
Formula charge for chemical atom O (1)
`= 6 - 2 - (1)/(2) (6) = + 1`
