Answer:
HOFO = (0, 0, +1, -1)
Explanation:
The formal charge (FC) can be calculated using the following equation:

<u>Where:</u>
V: are the valence electrons
N: are the nonbonding electrons
B: are the bonding electrons
The arrange of the atoms in the oxyacid is:
H - O₁ - F - O₂
Hence, the formal charge (FC) on each of the atoms is:
H: FC = 1 - 0 - 1/2*(2) = 0
O₁: FC = 6 - 4 - 1/2*(4) = 0
F: FC = 7 - 4 - 1/2*(4) = +1
O₂: FC = 6 - 6 - 1/2*(2) = -1
We can see that the negative charge is in the oxygen instead of the most electronegative element, which is the F. This oxyacid is atypical.
I hope it helps you!
Answer:
Electrolysis (of hydrochloric acid) is a way of splitting up (decomposition) of the compound (hydrogen chloride in water) using electrical energy.
Explanation:
The electrical energy comes from a d.c. (direct current) battery or power pack supply. A conducting liquid, containing ions, called the electrolyte (hydrochloric acid), must contain the compound (hydrogen chloride) that is being broken down.
