Question #878b6

Answer 1

Yes, the formal charge on `"N"` in the `N,N`-dimethylmethyleneiminium ion is +1.

Explanation:

You understand it correctly.

`"Formal charge" = ["No. of valence electrons on isolated atom"] - ["lone pair electrons" + "No. of bonds"]`

The ion has no lone pairs and four bonds, so

`"FC" = 5 - (0+4) = +1`
