Hey,
So I've got a homework question which is gradually transforming by brain into mashed potato!
Here it is..
Identify which of the following compounds contains ions and state the formal charges on the ions: NaCl, N2, MgO, AlCl3, and CO2.
Now, I'm not asking for someone to come in and give me the answer to all of them, I'm just after how I can find the answers, I just don't understand after a long time Googling..
I've had a crack and found that NaCl is ionic, but I just don't understand how to figure out the formal charge..
I'm at a loss, any help will be great - thank you!
