♦ Relevant knowledge
Resonance

Resonance occurs in the event that there exist multiple positions that are valid of a double bond within many Lewis structures. In these situations electrons are dispersed and the resulting molecule displays properties that are a combination that of resonance structures.

  1. Best Answer

    Formal charge of H atoms: 0

    Formal charge of the B atom: -1

    This is done by using the electron configuration laws. The H atom valency has been completely satisfied, while an additional pair of electrons is attached to the Batom in the form a bond.

    The total charge is -1
