Formal charge is defined as the charge assigned to an atom of a molecule.
In
, sulfur is the central atom. Therefore, formula to calculate the formal charge will be as follows.
Formal charge = Valence electrons -
Valence electrons in sulfur are 6 and lone pairs on sulfur are zero. Number of bonded electrons of sulfur are 8.
Therefore, formal charge on sulfur atom will be calculated as follows.
Formal charge = Valence electrons -
= 6 -
= 6 - 4
= 2
Thus, we can conclude that the formal charge on sulfur in
is +2.
