The formal charge on the carbon atom in ...

The formal charge on the carbon atom in the following structure `underset(* *)overset(* *)O=C=underset(* *)overset(* *)O` is …………………….

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In `underset(* *)overset(* *)O=C=underset(* *)overset(* *)O`
Formal charge on carbon `= N_(v)-[N_(l)+(N_(b))/(2)]=4-[0+(8)/(2)]=4-4=0`
Formal charge on oxygen `= N_(v)-[N_(l)+(N_(b))/(2)]= 6 - [4 + (4)/(2)]= 6 - = 0`
