Number of Bonding Electrons given Formal Charge Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

No. of Bonding Pair Electrons = (No. of Valence Shell Electrons-Formal Charge-No. of Non-Bonding Pair Electrons)*2
n_bp = (n_vs-FC-n_nb)*2
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

No. of Bonding Pair Electrons - The No. of Bonding Pair Electrons is the number of electrons shared in a bond.
No. of Valence Shell Electrons - The No. of Valence Shell Electrons of an atom are outer shell electron that is associated with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond.
Formal Charge - The Formal Charge is the charge assigned to an atom in a molecule, assuming that electrons in all chemical bonds are shared equally between atoms, regardless of relative electronegativity.
No. of Non-Bonding Pair Electrons - The No. of Non-Bonding Pair Electrons in the valence shell are the ones not taking part in the bond formation.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

No. of Valence Shell Electrons: 7 --> No Conversion Required
Formal Charge: 3 --> No Conversion Required
No. of Non-Bonding Pair Electrons: 2 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Is formal charge the same as charge or partial charge?

A formal charge has a value of either a positive integer, a negative integer, or zero. A partial charge usually has a positive or negative non-integer. Each atom in a molecule has both, but in this course, we're only able to calculate the formal charge. A formal charge indicates gain or loss of electron(s) while forming covalent bond(s). A partial charge indicates which atom in a bond have a higher electronegativity and which have a lower electronegativity. They're also completely different from each other in terms of writing them.
