Answer #1

Formal charge= no of Valency electrons on atom-(no of bonds with the atom+no of non bonding electrons).

Cl2O7:

Formal charge on Cl: 7-(4+0)= 7-4=+3

Formal charge on Bringing oxygen= 6-(2+4)=6-6=0

Formal charge on terminal oxygen: 6-(1+6)=-1

CO32-:

Formal charge on C= 4-(4+0)=0

Formal charge on double bonded O=6-(2+4)=0

Formal charge on single bonded O: 6-(1+6)=-1
