Consider the following molecules:What is the formal charge on C in CS2 and in CO32-

Formal charge on C atom of CS2Formal charge on an atom in a Lewis structure= [Total number of valence electrons in the atom] - [Total number of non-bonding or lone pair e-] - 1/2 [Total number of bonding (shared electrons)]=4−0−12×8=0Similarly formal charge on C atom of CO32- is zero.
