formal charge equation


Let us learn about formal charge equation

a formal charge “FC” is referred as the charge assigned to an atom in a molecule, assuming that electrons in a chemical bond are equally shared between atoms, regardless of relative electronegativity.
Formal charge equation:
FC = V - N - B/2
Where as “V” is the number of valence electrons of the atom in isolation. “B” is the total number of electrons shared in covalent bonds with other atoms in the molecule. “N” is referred as the number of non bonding electrons on this atom in the molecule.
Cf = Ev - (Eu + 1/2Ep)

In our next blog we shall learn about expected value formula I hope the above explanation was useful.Keep reading and leave your comments.
