Exam 2

16. What is the difference between using oxidation state versus formal charge to determine
the charge on an atom of a compound?
A) Oxidation state and formal charge give the same answer for the charge on an atom of
a compound. There is no difference.
B) Oxidation state is not as accurate as formal charge for estimating the charge on an
atom.
C) Oxidation state assumes the most electronegative atom owns the electrons in a bond.
Formal charge assumes the electrons in a bond are shared equally.
D) Oxidation state is only accurate for ionic compounds. Formal charge is only accurate
for molecular compounds.

Consider the structures below, including any resonance structures that are not specifically
drawn below. Note: S is considered to support 8 electrons in these structures. Do not
consider any structures in which S has an expanded octet. The indicated S and O are
underlined.
