What about multiple Lewis diagrams for the same molecule? • It is possible to construct two Lewis diagrams for carbon dioxide j=c=8 Vs. :7-C=0: Both Lewis diagrams are valid but how can we predict the dominant structure? College Board 15 Introducing Formal Charge • We assign each atom a formal charge which is the hypothetical charge the atom would have if all of the atoms had the same electronegativity • To calculate formal charge we first assign electrons to each atom in the diagram. Every unshared electron is fully assigned to the atom on which they are found • For any bond, half of the bonding electrons are assigned to each atom in the bond ...
