Question
Chapter 1, Problem 39EQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The total number of valance electrons in the given structure is to be counted and the formal charge on both the Oxygen atoms is to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Some organic
To calculate the formal charge on an atom in any given structure it is necessary to distinguish between the electrons that make up an atom’s octet and the electrons that formally “belong” to an atom. In any given Lewis structure all electrons associated with an atom either as an unshared pair or shared pair are part of that atom’s octet.

Group 1 elements have an average electronegativity of 0.84 (not including hydrogen). Group 17 elements have an average electronegativity of 2.99. These two groups often form bonds. Given this information, which kind of bond will they likely form (ionic or covalent), and what evidence supports your claim? If it is ionic, then include which group gives up its electron to the other group. In three to five sentences, explain your reasoning.
