QUESTION:
Draw three resonance structures for the molecule \(\mathrm{N_2O_3}\) (atomic arrangement is \(\mathrm{ONNO_2}\)). Show formal charges.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Formal charge is the charge assigned to an atom in a molecule. Formal charge can be calculated by the following formula;
Formal charge can be calculated by the following formula;
Here ,
VE = Valence electrons
NE = Non bonded electrons
BE = Bonding electrons
