Question

Determine the `F.C` on each atom in :
(a) `HOBr`
(b) `overset (oplus)N H_4`
( c) `H_2 O : B B r_3`.

Answer 1

(a)
`F.C on H = [1 - 0 - (1)/(2)(2)] = 0`
`F.C. on O = [6 - 4 - (1)/(2)(4)] = 0`
`F.C. on Br = [7 - 6 - (1)/(2)(2)]= 0`
(b)
`F.C. on each H = [1 - 0 - (1)/(2) (2)] = 0`
`F.C. on N = [5 - 0 - (1)/(2) (8)] = + 1 [[Equal, t o],[charg e on ,i on]]`
( c)

`F.C. on each H = [1 - 0 - (1)/(2) (2)]= 0`
`F.C. on O = [6 - 2 - (1)/(2)(6)]= + 1`
`F.C. on B = [3 - 0 - (1)/(2)(8)] = - 1`
`F.C on each F = [7 - 6 - (1)/(2) (2)] = 0`
Total `F.C. = 0`.
