What is the formal charge on ' N ' atom in [: S - C N : ]^ ion?
Options
- Azero
- B+3
- C-2
- D+2
Correct answer
A. zero
Step-by-step solution
Formal charge = [ array l Total no. of valence e ⁻ in freestate array ]- [ array l Total no. of lonepair electrons array ]- 1 2 [ array l no. of bonding electronson that particularatom array ][ S - C N :]⁻ Formalcharge of N - atom =5-2- 1 2 6= zero
