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 formal charge does carbon have?
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 the formal charge for H3S?
Such an ion would most likely carry a 1+ charge.
How do you find how many electrons an atom has?
Knowing which element it is and its formal charge, subtract the charge from its atomic number.

How do you find a charge of C2?
formal charges. formal charge of each C is 4-2-(6/2)=4-2-3=-1. so the total charge is -2
What is the formal charge for BrO2?
The formal charge on bromine in the molecule HBr is -1. There are a number of rules for assigning the formal charge to an atom. The most important of them is that the sum of the formal charges on each atom must equal the charge on the molecule or ion. Since the Br has a formal of -1 and the charge on HBr is zero, then the formal charge on the hydrogen atom must be +1. The bromine atom has a formal charge of -1 because another important rule is that the most electronegative atom will have a negative formal charge equal to the number of electrons it needs to fill all of its outer orbitals. Since bromine has seven electrons, it needs one electron to fill its outer shell.
