**Lewis Structures of \( N_2O \) - Formal Charge Assignment**

### Task:
Assign formal charges to each atom in the possible Lewis structures of \( N_2O \).

**Instructions:**
Drag the appropriate labels to their respective targets.

**Options for Formal Charges:**
- \(-2\)
- \(-1\)
- \(0\)
- \(+1\)
- \(+2\)

### Structures:

**Structure A:**
- Nitrogen (N) - Left: Triple bonded to Nitrogen
- Nitrogen (N) - Middle: Double bonded to Oxygen  
- Oxygen (O) - Right: Two lone pairs

**Structure B:**
- Nitrogen (N) - Left: Single bonded to Nitrogen
- Nitrogen (N) - Middle: Triple bonded to Oxygen  
- Oxygen (O) - Right: Two lone pairs

**Structure C:**
- Nitrogen (N) - Left: Lone pair, single bonded to Nitrogen
- Nitrogen (N) - Middle: Triple bonded to Oxygen  
- Oxygen (O) - Right: One lone pair
