The formal charge on the carbon atom of carbon monoxide in its major resonance form (triple bonded with oxygen) is -1. However, the electronegativity difference cancels it out for the most part (oxygen in this case as a formal charge of +1). It would be more accurate to say that there is simply a small dipole moment between the two molecules with the negative end on carbon.

What is formal charge?
Formal charge is used when creating the Lewis structure of a molecule, to determine the charge of a covalent bond. Formal charge is the difference between the valence electrons, unbound valence electrons, and half the shared electrons.

What is CO2 charge?
While containing four electrons, carbon can also have a positive or negative charge. The charge can be either +4 or -4.
What is symbol and charge for carbon?
Carbon's symbol is C. A carbon atom has no charge, but a carbon ion has a +2 charge.

What is the oxidation number of carbon in propane?
This value is conventionally considered to be +4, although "oxidation number" is preferably not applied to covalent compounds and substituted by "formal charge".
