Answer:
The formal charge on nitrogen in [tex]NO_{2}Cl[/tex] is +1.
Explanation:
The structure of [tex]NO_{2}Cl[/tex] is as follows.
(In attachment)
[tex]Formal\, charge = Valence\, electron - (nonbonding\, electrons + \frac{Bonding\,electrons}{2})[/tex]
From the structure, Nitrogen has no non bonding electrons. Nitrogen has four bonds and each bond corresponds to 2 electrons. Hence, nitrogen have eight bonding electrons and five valence electrons.
[tex]Formal\,charge\,on\,nitrogen = 5-[0+ \frac{8}{2}]= +1[/tex]
Therefore, The formal charge on nitrogen in [tex]NO_{2}Cl[/tex] is +1.
