Detailed Solution

The formal charges on the marked nitrogen in the following structure is, $N_{1} = 0, N_{2} = 0, N_{3} = + 1, N_{4} = - 2$

An atom's electric charge within a molecule is known as its formal charge (FC).

Formal charge = Total number of valence electrons-(1/2) total number of shared electrons in bonds- total number of unbound electrons

The distribution of electric charge within a molecule can be estimated using formal charge.
