APFIVE Formal Charge Of Central Atom In Ozone
In one resonance structure of ozone $$O_3$$, the central oxygen is bonded to one oxygen by a double bond and to another by a single bond. Using the formal charge formula $$FC = \text{valence electrons} - \text{nonbonding electrons} - \frac{\text{bonding electrons}}{2}$$, what is the formal charge on the central oxygen assuming it has one lone pair?
