1. The Lewis structure for CH₃O⁻ or methoxide ion is shown in the picture attached. Each single bond is composed of 2 bonding electrons. The electron dots are lone electrons are the nonbonding electrons.

2. The unshaired pairs are the electrons dots surrounding the oxygen atom. From the picture, there are 3 unpaired electrons or lone pairs.

3. The formal charge of each element has the following equation:
Formal charge = Valence electrons - Nonbonding electrons - (Bonding electrons/2)

C: 4 - 0 - (8/2) = 0
O: 6 - 6 - (2/2) = -1
H: 1 - 0 - (2/2) = 0

Therefore, the nonzero formal charge is -1 for the oxygen atom.

Answer from: Chad9310

The formal charges of the atoms involved in the CH₃O- the molecule is:

1. O atom = -1

2 H atoms and atoms C = 0

Further explanation

Formal charges are usually used to explain the bonding of the Lewis structure. The structural form of a molecule can have several types based on the Lewis structure. Formal charge calculations can determine which molecule is more stable, by choosing the smallest charge, even though atoms such as C, N, and O the priority is to fulfill the octet rule first.

Formal charges can be formulated:

FC (formal charge) = number of valence electrons - number of free electrons - 1/2 binding electrons

The formal charge on the atoms involved in the CH₃O⁻ the molecule is

1. atom C

formal charge: 4 - 0 - 1 / 2.8 = 0

2. atom O

formal charge: 6-6--1 / 2.2 = -1

(there is 1 electron from the outside which is added to the O atom)

3. atom H

formal charge: 1-0-1 / 2.2 = 0

So that the total formal charge = 0 + -1 + 0 = -1 (corresponding to the molecular charge of CH₃O⁻)

Answer from: Quest

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
