QUESTION 15 Consider one possible dot structure shown below for the SonCa molecule. What would be the formal charge on the sutfur atom in this struct to: QUESTION 16 When using using formal charges to choose structures, which statement sja re true? O Positive formal charges should always be placed on the most electronegative element o Structures with more tormal charges are preferable to structures with tewer formal charges o Adjacent like charges are undesirable O All of the above statements are true QUESTION 17

Explanation / Answer

15.

Formal charge = no.of valence electrons - no.of bonds - no.of lone pair of electrons

Formal charge on S = 6 - 4 - 0 = + 2

(c) + 2

16.

(c) Adjacent like charges are undesirable
