हिन्दीIn the Lewis structure of carbon monoxide \( :\text{C}\equiv\text{O}: \), what are the formal charges on the carbon atom and the oxygen atom, respectively, calculated using \( \text{F.C.} = V - L - \frac{1}{2}B \)?
Correct answer · Option 2
\( -1 \) and \( +1 \)
Explanation
For C: \( \text{F.C.} = 4 - 2 - \frac{1}{2}(6) = -1 \). For O: \( \text{F.C.} = 6 - 2 - \frac{1}{2}(6) = +1 \).
