Formal Charge

Postby Brandon Tao 1K » Sun Oct 27, 2019 7:56 pm

If there is a formal charge, is there such thing as an informal charge?

No, I don't believe so because a formal charge is a charge assigned to an atom assuming that electrons are equally shared within a chemical bond.

No, I believe not. Informal charges do not exist.

Nope, "formal" is just a formality, if you will, to refer to the charge of the atom within the molecule.
