H2S
formula charge = valence electron in atom - non bonding electron - bonding electron
S = 6 - 4 - 2
= 6-6 =0

Answer:
S is the central atom, and forms 2 double binds with 2 oxygen atoms. And 1 single bind each with OH. Thus the fornal charge on S is - valence elctrons of s - number of electrons (lone pairs) - number of bonds.
=> 6-0-6
=> 0
Hence formal charge is zero.
