Document Summary
Chemistry 2610 assignment 1: questions and solutions. Please complete a minimum of five questions by the end of the seminar for full tutorial credit. Define formal charge and identify the formal charges on the bromine, chlorine, nitrogen and phosphorous atoms on each of the following structures. The formal charge on an atom is the algebraic sum of the protons and electrons formally assigned to the atom. For each atom, formal charge = group # - # of bonds - # of unshared electrons. Applying the formal charge equation to the five compounds gives the following formal charges: 5 bonds and a formal charge of 0, as in pcl5, e. g. , the trigonal bipyramidal structure of: Identify the formal charges on the boron, carbon, oxygen and sulfur atoms in each of the following structures. Applying the formal charge equation to the six compounds gives the following formal charges: Define lewis structures and draw lewis structures for each of the following species.
