Expert Solution
Step 1- Introduction

Formal charge= The formal charge over an atom of a molecule or ion is the difference between the valence electron of that atom and the number of electrons assigned to that atom in Lewis's structure.

Formula to calculate formal charge is= V.E -N.B.E- B.E/2

where V.E.= Valence electron of an atom

N.B.E.= Nonbonding electron present on atom

B.E.= bonding electrons of an atom
