Vedclass · Answer

(D) The formula for formal charge is: $	ext{Formal charge} = [ 	ext{Total no. of valence } e^- 	ext{ in free state} ] - [ 	ext{Total no. of lone pair electrons} ] - \frac{1}{2} [ 	ext{Total no. of bonding electrons} ]$. For the carbon atom $(C)$ in the structure $S \equiv C - \ddot{N} :$,the number of valence electrons is $4$. The carbon atom has $0$ lone pair electrons and forms $4$ bonds (a triple bond with $S$ and a single bond with $N$),which corresponds to $8$ bonding electrons. Substituting these values: $	ext{Formal charge} = 4 - 0 - \frac{1}{2} 	imes 8 = 4 - 4 = 0$.
