Calculate the formal charge on (i) Cl"...

Calculate the formal charge on
(i) `Cl" in "HClO_(4)`
(ii) `S" in "HSO_(4)^(-)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) Lewis structure of ` HSO_(4)^(-)` ion is
Applying the formula for calculation of formal charge
formal charge on S atom = ` 6- 0 - (1)/(2) (8) = 6 - 4 = + 2 `
(ii) Lewis structure of ` HClO_(4)` is
Formal charge on ` Cl = 7 - 0 - (1)/(2) (8) = + 3 `
