Chemistry- Ch 06 Bell work (45-49) When a molecule has more than Lewis structure we say the molecule shows _________________. When calculating the formal charge on an atom you subtract the number of _______(more than one word)___________ from the number of valence electrons. In a polyatomic ion, the sum of the formal charges should equal the ___________ on the polyatomic ion. In a neutral molecule, the sum of the formal charges should equal _____________. Draw the Lewis structures and assign formal charges for HNO3
