The formal charges of C and O atoms in `CO_(2)`

A

1,-1

B

`-1,1`

C

2,-2

D

0,0

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(d)
Fromal charge (FC)=No. of valence electrons-Lone pair-1`(1)/(2)` bond pair
`:overset(..)O=C=overset(..)O:`
thereforeFC of `O=6-4-(1)/(2)(4)=0`
FC of `C=4-0-(1)/(2)(8)=0`
