हिन्दीIn the nitrite ion \( [\ddot{\text{O}}=\ddot{\text{N}}-\ddot{\text{O}}:]^- \), calculate the formal charge on the singly bonded oxygen atom using the standard formal charge formula.
View Answer & Solution
Correct answer · Option A
\( -1 \)
Explanation
For singly bonded oxygen: \( V = 6 \), lone pair electrons \( L = 6 \), bonding electrons \( B = 2 \). \( \text{F.C.} = 6 - 6 - \frac{1}{2}(2) = -1 \).
