Expert Solution
Step 1: Write the definition and formula for calculating formal charge

Formal charge is an imaginary charge assigned to an atom assuming that the bond formed as ionic in nature.F o r m a l space c h a r g e space equals space v a l e n c e space e l e c t r o n s space o f space c e n t r a l space a t o m space minus space left parenthesis b o n d i n g space e l e c t r o n s divided by 2 right parenthesis minus l o n e space p a i r space e l e c t r o n s
