New cards
assigning formal charge
draw Lewis structure, determine each atom’s neutral valence, assign each atom ½ of bonding e- + lone pairs, calculate
2
New cards
formal charge calculation
FC = valence e- - lone pair e- - ½ (bonding e-)
3
New cards
better to have all FC =_ than any FC ≠ _
0
4
New cards
have arrangement with the smallest in magnitude ≠0 _
FCs
5
New cards
preferable when adjacent FCs are
zero or of opposite sign
6
New cards
preferable to have more negative FCs on
more electronegative atoms
