Dear student

FC = V-N-B/2
where V = no of valence electron
N = No. of non bonding electrons
B = No. of electrons in covalent bond

Formal charge of N on NO3- =0
Formal charge of O on NO3- = -1/3

Formula change is basically a change given to an atom, on assuming that the electrons in a chemical bond are shared equally between the atoms, neglecting theirrelative, EN.

FC=V−N−2B (V=no. of valance electronN=No. of non bonding electronsB=No. of electrons in covalent bond)

FC on N in NO3−=0

FC on O in NO3−=3−1
