It’s possible to draw a Lewis structure for CO2 with a single covalent bond between one O atom and the C atom and a triple covalent bond from the C atom to the other O atom. What is the formal charge of the O atom with the triple bond?

· · ·

Solution 1

#### Solution By Steps***Step 1: Determine the valence electrons for C and O*** Carbon (C) has 4 valence electrons. Oxygen (O) has 6 valence electrons.***Step 2: Calculate the formal charge on the O atom with the triple bond*** Formal charge = valence electrons - (non-bonding electrons + 1/2 bonding electrons) For the O atom with the triple bond: - Non-bonding electrons = 2 lone pairs = 2 * 2 = 4 electrons - Bonding electrons = 3 bonds * 2 = 6 electrons Formal charge = 6 - (4 + 6/2) = 6 - (4 + 3) = 6 - 7 = -1#### Final AnswerThe formal charge of the O atom with the triple bond is -1.
