Downvote + Chemistry Posted by Mizanur Rahman What is the formal charge of C1H2O2?

It looks to me like we have a confusion of terms, here. “Formal charge” applies to individual atoms within a molecule, not to a molecule as a whole. So which atom are you asking about? Or are you asking about each of the five?

The way to find the formal charge of an atom starts with drawing the Lewis structure of the compound as a whole. Unless this particular compound is exceptionally weird, it would appear to be formic acid:

This concept is used to assign formal charge on a atom in molecule not the real charge.

It is charge assigned to atom which talks about whether atom is in loss or gain or with no profit.

In case of atom our investment is electron.

Formal charge means ignore the lone pair of electrons and electrons shared by that atom from valence electron then whatever is left with you is signature of formal charge.

That is, valence electron minus total lone pairs of electrons minus electrons shared by that atom only.

If we take example of O3 (ozone) molecule.

We have this lewis dot structure.
