Add formal charges to each resonance form of NCO–.
......... ADVERTISEMENT ......... ..8..
Charge of formality (FC) is total number of electrons valence on an the atom that is not bonded – (number of non-bonded electrons + number of bonds)
Resonances using the total of FC = the overall charge of the structure (either zero for neutral, or not zero for an Ion) are more desirable.
