...in neutral molecules? Which of these statements is a useful guideline for the application of formal charges in neutral molecules?
1) A Lewis structure in which there are no formal charges is preferred.
2)Lewis structures with large formal charges (e.g., +2,+3 and/or -2,-3) are preferred.
3) The preferred Lewis structure is one in which positive formal charges are on the most electronegative atoms.
