Calculate the formal charge on S in HSO(...

Calculate the formal charge on S in `HSO_(4)^(-)` ion

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


Total number of valence electrons in free S atom = 6
Total number of non bonded electrons = 0
Total number of shared electrons = 8
Formal charge = `6 - 0 - ((1)/(2) xx 8)` = 2
