The formal charge of N₂O(the resulting compound) is 0, -1 and +1
<h3>Further explanation
</h3>
Formal charges are usually used to explain the bonding of the Lewis structure. The structural form of a molecule can have several types based on the Lewis structure. Formal charge calculations can determine which molecule is more stable, by choosing the smallest charge, even though atoms such as C, N, and O the priority is to fulfill the octet rule first.
Formal charges can be formulated:
FC (formal charge) = number of valence electrons - number of free electrons - 1/2 binding electrons
In the reaction, NO₂ and NO will produce N₂O compounds, nitrous oxide
Reactions that occur:
NO₂ + NO ---> N₂O + O₂
N₂O based on its lewis structure can have 3 possible shapes (single, triple or triple bond) but the most stable and suitable one is the three bond between its N atoms
The formal charge of N₂O is:
- N₁: 5 (valence electrons of N atoms) - 2 (free electrons, which are not bound) -1/2.6 (6 is the number of bound electrons) so the formal charge N₁ = 0
- N₂ = 5-0- 1/2.8 , N₂ = +1
So that the total formal charge = 0 + (+ 1) + (- 1) = 0, according to the charge on neutral N₂O compounds
