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
Atoms of oxygen are electronegative and attract the shared electrons in their covalent bonds.
The rows are called Periods.
First one is reactants and then second one is products
True, is the correct answer.
