QUESTION
How do you calculate formal charge from an equation?
The formal charge of any atom in a molecule can be calculated by the following equation:
##FC = V - N - B/2##
where V is the number of of the neutral atom in isolation (in its ground state); N is the number of non- on this atom in the molecule; and B is the total number of electrons shared in bonds with other atoms in the molecule.
