Chemistry- Ch 06 Bell work (45-49) • When a molecule has more than Lewis structure we say the molecule shows _________________. • When calculating the formal charge on an atom you subtract the number of _______(more than one word)___________ from the number of valence electrons. • In a polyatomic ion, the sum of the formal charges should equal the ___________ on the polyatomic ion. • In a neutral molecule, the sum of the formal charges should equal _____________. • Draw the Lewis structures and assign formal charges for HNO3
