Answer:

FC of C = -1

General Formulas and Concepts:

  • Lewis Dot Structures
  • Resonance Structures
  • Formal Charge: FC = # of valence e⁻ - # of lone e⁻ - # of bonds

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

Carbon (C)

  • 4 valence e⁻
  • 2 lone e⁻
  • 3 bonds

Oxygen (O)

  • 6 valence e⁻
  • 2 lone e⁻
  • 3 bonds

<u>Step 2: FC of C</u>

  1. Substitute:                    FC = 4e⁻ - 2e⁻ - 3
  2. Subtract:                       FC = -1

The answer is B, early in the morning water covered areas (lakes,ponds,puddles,etc.) will vaporize a little bit because of the heat from the sun and it will continue all day, vapors rise towards the atmosphere and since it's a lot cooler there it will condense into a cloud which is full of tiny frozen water particles.
