The electron exchanges between O and C is double bond o has (-2) charges. The carbon atom sharing 4 electrons with O and N atom hence there are also 4 valency of electron mean atom has (+4) charges

While N atom sharing one there for there would (-1) charge and -2 charge already present then it will become (-) charge on N atom.

Hence, the oxidization states of O,  C and N is -2, +4, -3 respectively.
