Given information

Two Lewis structures are given.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

In the first structure :

valency of  

Valency of  

valency of  

bonding electrons  

No. of valence electron = (valency of + valency of  + valency of  )

                                   =  

                                   

No. of non-bonding electrons =  

                                           

Formal charge = (no. of valence electron - no. of non-bonding electrons - no. of bonding electrons)/  

                     =  

                     =
