Formal Charge = (Number of valence electrons) - (Non-bonding electrons) - (12 Bonding electrons) Atomic number of oxygen = 8 Electronic configuration = 1s2 2s2 2p4 Valence electrons on oxygen atom = 6 Non bonding electrons = Number of electrons present in lone pair Bonding electrons = Number of bonds formed
For first oxygen atom (leftmost) Formal Charge = 6 - 4 - 4/2 = 0
For second oxygen atom (middle) Formal Charge = 6 - 2 - 6/2 = +1
For third oxygen atom (rightmost) Formal Charge = 6 - 6 - 2/2 = -1

Formal Charge = 6 - 4 - 4/2 = 0
For second oxygen atom (middle)
Formal Charge = 6 - 2 - 6/2 = +1
For third oxygen atom (rightmost)
Formal Charge = 6 - 6 - 2/2 = -1
