1.4 | FORMAL CHARGES Formal Charge: Is associated with any atom that does not exhibit the appropriate number of valence electrons. ✦ How to Identify if a formal charge is required? 1. Determine the appropriate number of valence electrons for an atom. 2. Determine whether the atom exhibits the appropriate number of electrons. • Group number indicates the appropriate number of valence electrons for each atom. • After identifying the appropriate number of electrons for each atom in a Lewis structure, the next task is to determine if any of the atoms in the Lewis structure exhibit
