Question

The formal changes on the atoms marked as (1) to (4) in the Lewis representation of ${HnO}_{3}$ molecule respectively are

Options

A.$+ 1,0,0, - 1$
B.$0, - 1,0, + 1$
C.$0, + 1,0, - 1$
D.$0,0, - 1, + 1$

Solution

Consider the structure of ${HNO}_{3}$

1 :- 0

2 :- (+1)

3 :- 0

4 :- (–1)

Formal charge $=$ valence e's - non bonding e's

$$- \left( \frac{\text{~bonding electrons~}}{2} \right)$$
