Two structures (resonance), one with a triple bond between C and N, and a single bond between O and C, with one lone pair on the N and three lone pairs on the O. Second structure has two double bonds between both the C and N and O and C, with two lone pairs on both N and O. Charge is -1, indicated by brackets.
