In $O_{3}$ molecule, the formal charge on the central $O$ -atom is

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

Lewis gave the structure of $O_{3}$ molecule as
Using the relation, Formal charge $= [$ Total no. of valence electrons in the free atom] - [Total no. of non-bonding (lone pair) electrons] - $\frac{1}{2}$ [Total no. of bonding (shared) electrons] The formal charge on central $O$ -atom i.e., no. 1 $= 6 - 2 - \frac{1}{2} (6) = + 1$
