Hey guys,
I was reviewing formal charges and came across what I originally thought was a straightforward problem (thinking otherwise now). The question is asking me to determine the formal charge on nitrogen in the following molecule:
CH3-CH=NH2
I have been using the equation [# of valence electrons - # of lone pair electrons - (1/2* # of bonded electrons), so I figured I would double check that there were no lone electrons on that nitrogen atom before I calculated anything. I drew out...
