formal charge, FC=VNB2

where, V = number of valence electrons of the neutral atom in isolation (in its ground state); 

N= number of non-bonding valence electrons on this atom in the molecule, and 

B= total number of electrons shared in bonds with other atoms in the molecule.

The formal charge on the central O atom marked 1= 6-2-62=+1

The formal charge on the end O atom marked 2= 6-4-42=0

The formal charge on the end O atom marked 3=6-6-22=-1
