Trick to Learn Formal Charge

Number of valance electrons – (No. of unshared electrons + No. of bonds)

Example – 

NH4+ 

Formal Charge of N = 5 – (0+4)  = +1

Formal Charge of H = 1 – (0+1 )   = 0

So, Formal Charge of NH4+ = 0+1 = +1

(CO3)-2       

Formal Charge of O(a) = 6 – (6+1) = -1

Formal Charge of O(b) = 6 – (6+1) = -1

Formal Charge of O(c) = 6 – (4+2)  = 0

So,  Formal Charge of (CO3)-2 =  -2
