How to calculate bonding electrons of formal charge

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student,

To calculate the bonding electrons of formal charge, you just need to count number of bonds and then multiply by 2. Each bond is made up of 2 electrons, so bonding electrons will be twice the number of bonds. Just make sure that you count number of bonds as 2 for double bond and 3 for triple bond.

Regards
