WEBSep 24, 2010 · Formal charge = [# of valence electrons] – [electrons in lone pairs + 1/2 the number of bonding electrons] and . Formal Charge = [# of valence electrons on atom] – [non-bonded electrons + number of bonds]. They do not produce the same result… If I have the formula BH4, and use the first formula provided to find FC of B, I would get:
