Answer:

FC of C = -1

General Formulas and Concepts:

  • Lewis Dot Structures
  • Resonance Structures
  • Formal Charge: FC = # of valence e⁻ - # of lone e⁻ - # of bonds

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Carbon (C)

  • 4 valence e⁻
  • 2 lone e⁻
  • 3 bonds

Oxygen (O)

  • 6 valence e⁻
  • 2 lone e⁻
  • 3 bonds

Step 2: FC of C

  1. Substitute:                    FC = 4e⁻ - 2e⁻ - 3
  2. Subtract:                       FC = -1
