    #1 and #2 please. QUESTION 1 Check ALL that are true of formal charges. Formal charge can be used to determine the best resonance structure. Formal charges of zero are most preferable. A more negative formal charge should go on a more electronegative atom. A formal charge of -2 is better than a formal charge of +1 for any atom, because negative formal charge is better than positive formal charge. QUESTION 2 Check ALL that are true of resonance structures...
