Answer:
Formal charge on first O atom = 6 – 2 – ½ (6) = +1
Formal charge on second O atom = 6 – 4 – ½ (4) = 0
Formal charge on third O atom = 6 – 6 – ½ (2) = -1
Explanation:
Formal charge = Total number of valence electrons on the free atom – Total no. of lone pairs of electron –
½ [Total no. of bonding electrons]
