Add formal charges to each resonance form of HCNO below

Chemistry

Add formal charges to each resonance form of HCNO below. Incorrect. Consider the number of valence electrons contributed by each element versus the actual number of electrons shown for that atom in the structure. For example, carbon always contributes 4 valence electrons, but the arrangement C implies that carbon has 5 valence electrons, for a formal charge of-1. Based on the formal charges you added above, which structure is favored?
