To calculate the formal charge on each atom in the molecule SO₂ (sulfur dioxide), we will follow a systematic approach using the formal charge formula. The formal charge (FC) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{FC} = \text{Valence electrons} - \text{Non-bonded electrons} - \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Bonded electrons} \] ### Step 1: Determine the Valence Electrons - **Sulfur (S)** has 6 valence electrons. ...
