What is the lewis structure and formal charge of CH2O

Chemistry
1 answer:
aksik [14]3 years ago
3 0

Diagram A shows the Lewis structure (LS) of CH_2O. The formal charge on each atom is zero.

To get the formal charge (FC) on the atoms, cut each bond in half, as in <em>Diagram B</em>.  Each atom gets the electrons on its side of the cut.

Formal charge = valence electrons in isolated atom - electrons on bonded atom

FC = VE - BE  

<em>On O: </em>

VE = 6

BE = 2 lone pairs 2 + 2 bonding electrons = 4 + 2 = 6

FC = 6 – 6 = 0.

<em>On H: </em>

VE = 1

BE = 1 bonding electron

FC = 1 – 1 = 0

<em>On C: </em>

VE = 4

BE = 1 in each single bond + 2 in the double bond = 2 + 2 = 4

FC = 4 - 4 = 0

Every day on his ride to school, Max sees some sedimentary rock. He starts to wonder: Could material from this sedimentary rock
Sloan [31]

Material from this sedimentary rock ever forms igneous rock, <u>Option D. Yes, if the sedimentary rock is moved below Earth’s outer layer and exposed to energy from Earth’s interior, it can melt into liquid rock and form </u><u>igneous rock.</u>

Sedimentary rocks are shaped from pre-existing rocks or pieces of soon-as-dwelling organisms. They form from deposits that collect on this planet's floor. Sedimentary rocks regularly have special layering or bedding.

Igneous rock, or magmatic rock, is one of the 3 primary rock kinds, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rock is shaped via the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. The magma may be derived from partial melts of existing rocks in either a planet's mantle or crust.

Every day on his ride to school, Max sees some sedimentary rock. He starts to wonder: Could material from this sedimentary rock ever form igneous rock?

A. No, igneous rock can only form out of other igneous rocks. Sedimentary rock cannot change into igneous rock.

B. No, igneous rock forms under Earth’s outer layer due to energy from Earth’s interior, but the sedimentary rock is only at Earth’s surface.

C. Yes, if the sedimentary rock is exposed to energy from the sun at Earth’s surface for a long enough time, it can melt into liquid rock and form igneous rock.

D. Yes, if the sedimentary rock is moved below Earth’s outer layer and exposed to energy from Earth’s interior, it can melt into liquid rock and form igneous rock.
