Best Answer

The oxidation value of a nitrogen atom in methylamine CH3NH2 is -3, supposedly the same as in ammonia.

In ammonia (NH3) and ammonium ions (NH4+) it has a oxidation value of -3 (and actually only a partial negative charge as part from a polar covalent, non-ionic bond).

it is uncharged because there are 4 bonds (that's how many carbon likes to make). There is a dipole, however, caused by nirtogen.

Carbon's symbol is C. A carbon atom has no charge, but a carbon ion has a +2 charge.


What is the overall charge of a carbon atom and three oxygen atoms?

Carbon as an atom has no charge, as all atoms are neutral particles. This is because they have equal numbers of protons and electrons, so the carbon atom has no charge.


Which atom in the carbon-chlorine bond is assigned the delta negative charge?

The Chlorine atom has the delta negative charge because it's more negative than carbon.

Does the carbon atom have the delta negative charge in the carbon-chlorine bond?

No, as t is less electronegative it has a partial positive charge.


What formal charge does carbon have?

The formal charge on the carbon atom of carbon monoxide in its major resonance form (triple bonded with oxygen) is -1. However, the electronegativity difference cancels it out for the most part (oxygen in this case as a formal charge of +1). It would be more accurate to say that there is simply a small dipole moment between the two molecules with the negative end on carbon.
