Calculate the formal charge of each oxygen atoms in ozone
Answered by admin @
Answer : The formal charge of each oxygen atom in ozone are 0, +1 and -1 respectively.
Explanation :
First we have to draw Lewis-dot structure of ozone, .
Oxygen has '6' valence electrons.
Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in ozone, = 3(6) = 18
According to electron-dot structure, there are 12 number of bonding electrons and 6 number of non-bonding electrons.
Now we have to calculate the formal charges of each oxygen atom.
Formula for formal charge :
The Lewis-dot structure are shown below.
