The Lewis structure of Chloroacetate (H₂CClCO₂) is given below. In structure it is shown that carbon has a double bond with one oxygen atom and two single bonds with CH₂Cl and O⁻.
Formal Charge;
Formal charge is caculated as,
Formal charge = # of valence e⁻ - [# of lone pair of e⁻ + 1/2 # of bonded e⁻]
Formal charge on Oxygen (Highlighted Red);
Formal charge = 6 - [ 6 + 2/2]
Formal charge = 6 - [6 + 1]
Formal charge = 6 - [7]
Formal charge = -1
