Question

What is the formal charge on carbon atom in the following two structures?  :

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(b) : : $	ilde{S}=C=\ddot{S}$ : 
Formal charge on C atom = Valence electrons $ \begin{aligned} & \quad 	ext { - Lone pair of electrons }-\frac{1}{2} 	imes 	ext { Bonding electrons } \ & =4-0-\frac{1}{2} 	imes 8=0 \end{aligned} $ 
Similarly, formal charge on C atom in other structure $=0$\
