Calculate the formal charge on O atoms numbered as 1 , 2 and 3 of `O_(3)` (ozone molecule)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Lewis structure of `O_(3)` is :

The atom have been numbered as 1, 2, 3. Formal charge on end O-atom numbered `1=6-4-(1)/(2)(4)=0`
Formal charge on central O-atom numbered `2=6-2-(1)/(2)(6)= +1`
Formal charge on end O-atom numbered ` 3=6-6-(1)/(2)(2)=-1`
Hence, we represent O3 along with formal charges as :
