Question

What is the molecular geometry on the carbon atom of linear trigonal planar tetrahedral none of the above What is the H-C-H bond angle in methyl anion, CH_3 ? 0 109 120 180 Calculate the formal charges on the indicated atoms in each compound below The formal charge on phosphorous (5) is The formal charge on oxygen (6) is The formal charge on carbon (7) is The formal charge on oxygen (8) is Which of the following terms describes the role of ethanol in the acid-shown?. Bronsted-Lowry acid Bronsted-Lowry base Lewis acid

Explanation / Answer

Formal charge = Valence Electrons - Nonbonding valence electrons - Total number of electrons shared in bonds/2

Formal charge of phosphorous: 5 - 0 - 8/2 = 1

Formal charge of oxygen in phosphorous: 6 - 6 - 2/2 = -1

Formal charge for carbon: 4 - 2 - 6/2 = -1

Formal charge in oxygen in carbon: 6 - 2 - 6/2 = +1
