What is the "formal charge" on CO2?

Question

A.) 0

B.) +1

C.) +2

D.) +3

E.) -1

Thank you!

Answer 1

A) 0 is the formal charge - it's a neutral non charged molecule, where carbon has a +4 charge, and each oxygen has  a -2 charge, so the total is zero.

Answer 2

0 is the formal charge

Answer 3

A). Zero....The C(4+) ions of Carbon are neutralised by the

2 x O(2-) ions of Oxygen to give the neutral Compound of CO2.

O=C=O

Answer 4

A) 0

Answer 5

it is 0 if it is comprised of two double bonds. :O=C=O:
