How To Determine Partial Charges Last timewe talked about how electrons are the “currency” of chemistry and every reaction is a transaction of electrons between atoms. That means that if we really want to understand a reaction, we have to understand where the electrons are (and aren’t)....
Question: Organic phosphate groups occur commonly in biological molecules. Calculate formal charges on the four O atoms in the methyl phosphate dianion. Formal Charge: A formal charge in chemistry is the charge given to an atom in a ...
