Specify which atoms, if any, bear a formal charge in the Lewis structure given and the net charge for the species. Be sure to answer all parts.

a. Formal charge C:___________.

b. Formal charge N:________.

d. Net charge:________.

Answer :

a. Formal charge C : (-1) charge

b. Formal charge N : (0) charge

d. Net charge : (-1) charge

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is,

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in = 4 + 5 + 1 = 10

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 4 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to determine the formal charge for each atom.

Formula for formal charge :

Thus, the net charge will be = -1 + 0 = -1
