Determine the formal charges on the highlighted atoms. if an atom is formally neutral, indicate a charge of zero. the molecule h 3 c c n o. the second c is connected to the c h 3 group with a single bond and to n with a triple bond. n is highlighted and is connected to c with a triple bond and o with a single bond. o is highlighted and is connected to n with a single bond and has 3 lone pairs of electrons.

Formal charge on n is +1

Formal charge on o is -1

Explanation:

Consider the atom n,

n is connected to o with a single bond and to c with a triple bond

In case of n, number of valence electrons are 5

Number of non-bonding electrons are 0

Number of bonding electrons are 8 (∵ n is attached to 4 bonds and each bond is equivalent to 2 electrons)

∴ Formal charge on n = 5 - 0 - (8 ÷ 2) = 5 - 4 = +1

∴ Formal charge on n is +1

Consider the atom o,

o is connected to n by a single bond

In case of o, number of valence electrons are 6

Number of non-bonding electrons are 6 (∵ it has 3 lone pair of electrons)

Number of bonding electrons are 2 (∵ it is connected to n by a single bond and that bond is equivalent to 2 electrons)

Formal charge on atom o = 6 - 6 - (2 ÷ 2) = -1

∴ Formal charge on o is -1

the earth would become to overheated and everything alive on it will eventually die from overheating. plants will eventually die as well, water will evaporate, and it will be nothing but a hot planet without anything living on it.
