(a) SCN-
Chem110MT2Solutions
Total # of valence electrons: 6 + 4 + 5 + 1 = 16 -1 (-)
(b) -1 (-)
Formal charge = (# of valence electron on a free atom) – (# of valence electrons assigned to the atom in the molecule) Valence electrons assigned = (# of lone pair electrons) + ½ (# of shared electrons) For S, formal charge = 6 – [4 + ½ (4)] = 0 For C, formal charge = 4 – [0 + ½(8)] = 0 For N, formal charge = 5 – [4 + ½(4)] = -1 For S, formal charge = 6 – [6 + ½ (2)] = -1 For C, formal charge = 4 – [0 + ½(8)] = 0 For N, formal charge = 5 – [2 + ½(6)] = 0
The first structure is preferred since N is more electronegative than S, and thus is more likely to have the negative charge. Q 10.10 Solution:
Correct Answer: C The formal charge of P in structures (i) and (iii) is = 5 – (5 + 0) = 0. Based on formal charge, structure (i) is the most important resonance structure. The formal charge of O in structure (ii) = 6 – (1 + 6) = -1. The most stable structure is that with the lowest formal charge.
