In the molecule `O_(A) = C = O_(B)`, the formal charge on `O_(A)C " and " O_(B)` are respectively.

A

`- 1, 0, + 1`

B

`+ 1, 0,- 1`

C

`- 2,0,+ 2`

D

`0, 0, 0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Formal charge of `O_(A)//O_(B) = N_(V) - (N_(e) +(N_(b))/(2))= 6 - (4+(4)/(2))= 6 - 6 = 0`
Formal charge of `C = 4 - (0 + (8)/(2))= 4 - 4 = 0`
