ClO4– HClO4

PO43–
H3PO4
5. octet rule is based upon the chemical inertness of noble gases.

Formal Charge
Difference between the number of valence electrons of that atom in free state
and the number of electrons assigned to that atom in the lewis structure .

V = Total number of valence electrons in the free atom


N = Number of non-bonding electrons
