(b) \(\mathrm{C_2^{2-}}\)
(c) \(\mathrm{NO^+}\)
(d) \(\mathrm{NH_4^+}\)
Show formal charges.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
We need to draw the lewis structure with formal charges.
(a) \(\mathrm{O_2^{2-}}\)
(b) \(\mathrm{C_2^{2-}}\)
(c) \(\mathrm{NO^+}\)
(d) \(\mathrm{NH_4^+}\)
Lewis structures are simplified representations of atoms or molecules with valence electrons around them.
