Formal charge can be calculated from the following formula
Formal charge = valency of central atom - (number of lone pair of electrons + number of covalent bonds)
a) for methylene:
Formal charge = 4 -( 2+ 2) = 0
b) For methyl free radical
Formal charge = 4- (3 +1) = 0
Ocean surface waves are surface waves that occur at the surface of an ocean. They usually result from distant winds or geologic effects and may travel thousands of miles before striking land. They range in size from small ripples to huge tsunamis. There is surprisingly little actual forward motion of individual water particles in a wave, despite the large amount of forward energy it may carry.
HCN is a Bronsted acid; it can dissociate into H+ and CN-. And H+ is a Lewis acid because it accepts election pairs. ... In order for H+ and CN- to be formed, Hydrogen in HCN donates its electrons to Carbon. So in this sense, Hydrogen is the lewis base and Carbon is the lewis acid.
