Chapter 1.4, Problem 11P
An atom with a formal charge does not necessarily have more or less electron density than the atoms in the molecule without formal charges. We can see this by examining the potential maps for H2O, H3O+, and HO− on page 12.
- a. Which atom bears the formal negative charge in the hydroxide ion?
- b. Which atom has the greater electron density in the hydroxide ion?
- c. Which atom bears the formal positive charge in the hydronium ion?
- d. Which atom has the least electron density in the hydronium ion?

Draw the Lewis structure for CO.
A. Calculate the formal charge on each atom in CO.
B. Draw the dipole for CO.
C. Calculate the oxidation numbers for the carbon and oxygen atoms in CO.
D. Formal charges, dipoles, and oxidation numbers are different ways of understanding the charges on covalently-bonded atoms. They tend to agree or be similar. At least in some ways, they disagree for CO. Formal charge guidelines assume that all bonding electrons are shared evenly between the two bonded atoms. Oxidation number guidelines assume that the more electronegative atom in the bond gets all of the electrons. Dipole theory assumes that the bonded electrons are associated more with the more electronegative atom. Now that you understand the basis for the oxidation number guidelines, determine the oxidation number for each carbon in propane assuming that the more electronegative atom gets all of the bonded electrons. You will need to draw the Lewis structure of propane for your answer.
