Positive Charge of N

Postby JennyZhu1K » Mon Nov 29, 2021 9:19 pm

In class, for the molecule C6H5NH3, N has a positive charge. This is because the formal charge is +1 on the N right?

Yes,
The charge of the molecule here comes from the fact that N typically forms 3 bonds and in this case it formed 4 giving it a +1 formal charge.
