Expert Solution
Step 1 formal charge

To solve this problem we have to calculate the formal charge of and N atom 

And it is calculated by knowing the valance electron of atoms , lone pairs of electron and the bonded electrons .

By using the formula 

Formal charge = number of valance electron - [number of lone pair +1/2(number of bonded electrons ) ]
