A

0

B

`-1`

C

`-2`

D

`+1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
lewis gave the structure of `O_(3)` molecule as

Using the relation, formal charge=[Total no. of valence electrons in the free atom]-[total no. of non-bonding (lone pair) electron]`-(1)/(2)` [total no. of bonding (shared) electrons].
