    The formal charges of \[{{N}_{(1)}},\,{{N}_{(2)}}\] and O atoms in\[_{\bullet }^{\bullet }\overset{\bullet \,\bullet }{\mathop{\underset{1}{\mathop{N}}\,}}\,=\underset{2}{\mathop{N}}\,=\overset{\bullet \bullet }{\mathop{O}}\,_{\bullet }^{\bullet }\] are respectively

    A)  +1,-1. 0

    B)  -1,+1, 0

    C)  +1,+1.0

    D)  -1.-1,0 .   

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Formal charge \[=\left[ \begin{align}   & Total\text{ }number\text{ }of\text{ }valence \\  & electrons\text{ }in\text{ }the\text{ }free\text{ }atom \\ \end{align} \right]\] \[-\left[ \begin{align}   & Total\text{ }number\text{ }of \\  & non-bonding\text{ }(lone \\  & pair)\text{ }electrons \\ \end{align} \right]-\frac{1}{2}\left[ \begin{align}   & Total\text{ }number\text{ }of \\  & bonding\text{ (}shared) \\  & electrons \\ \end{align} \right]\]In \[_{\bullet }^{\bullet }\overset{\bullet \bullet }{\mathop{\underset{(1)}{\mathop{N}}\,}}\,=\underset{(2)}{\mathop{N}}\,=\overset{\bullet \bullet }{\mathop{O}}\,_{\bullet }^{\bullet }\] structure the formal charge on... the end N atom marked 1,                 \[=5-4-\frac{1}{2}\,(4)=5-4-2=-1\] the central N atom marked 2,                 \[=5-0-\frac{1}{2}\,(8)=5-4=+1\] the end O atom, \[=6-4-\frac{1}{2}\,(4)=6-6=0\]
