An atom with a formal charge does not necessarily have more or less electron density than the atoms in the molecule without formal charges. We can see this by examining the potential maps for and .
Which atom bears the formal negative charge in the hydroxide ion?
Which atom has greater electron density in the hydroxide ion?
Which atom bears the formal positive charge in the hydronium ion?
Which atom has the least electron density in the hydronium ion?
Explain why HCl has a smaller dipole moment than HF, even though the H-Cl bond is longer than the H-F bond.
