In a resonance structure of ozone, O3O_3, the central oxygen atom has one lone pair, a single bond to one oxygen atom, and a double bond to the other. What is the formal charge on the central oxygen atom? The formula for formal charge is as follows: FC=valence electrons−nonbonding electrons−bonding electrons2FC = \text{valence electrons} - \text{nonbonding electrons} - \frac{\text{bonding electrons}}{2}
