A) \[-1,-\text{ }1,+\text{ }1\]
B) \[-1,+1,-1\]
C) \[+1,-\text{ }1,-1\]
D) \[+1,-\text{ }1,+1\]
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Formal charge = total number of valence electrons - total number of non-bonding electrons \[-\frac{1}{2}\times \]total number of bonding electrons As for structure \[\underset{\centerdot \,\,\centerdot }{\overset{\centerdot \,\,\centerdot }{\mathop{N}}}\,=N=\underset{\centerdot \,\,\centerdot }{\overset{\centerdot \,\,\centerdot }{\mathop{N}}}\,\] For 1st and 3rd nitrogen atom Formal charge \[=5-4-\frac{1}{2}\times 4=-1\] For middle nitrogen atom Formal charge \[=5-0-\frac{1}{2}\times 8=+1\]
