the first has a lone electron on the N and the N is double bonded to both O atoms; in this case the FC is 0.
the second also has a lone electron on the N and the N is double bonded to one O and single bonded to another; in this case the FC is +1

N has 5 valence electrons as an atom, 2 in the structure, and makes 3 bones, so therefore:
5-2-3=0

What is the Formal charge of nitrogen atom in ammonium ion?
+1
What is the difference between the nitrite and nitrate ion?
The nitride ion is N3-, three nitrogen atoms bound by three extra electrons to form one molecule of nitrogen.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NitrideThe nitrite ion is NO2-. One nitrogen atom with two oxygen atoms that share an electron to form a molecule of nitrogen dioxide.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NitriteThe nitrate ion is NO32-. The nitrate ion carries a formal charge of negative two, where each oxygen carries a −2/3 charge while the nitrogen carries a +1 charge.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate

How does NO3- have a negative charge?
Quoted from the Wikipedia article titled Nitrate: "The nitrate ion is a polyatomic ion with the molecular formula NO3− and a molecular mass of 62.0049 g/mol. It is the conjugate base of nitric acid, consisting of one central nitrogen atom surrounded by three identical oxygen atoms in a trigonal planar arrangement. The nitrate ion carries a formal charge of negative one, where each oxygen carries a −2⁄3 charge whereas the nitrogen carries a +1 charge, and is commonly used as an example of resonance."Me: The -2/3 charge on the three oxygen atoms adds up to -6/3, which is -2. So the overall charge on the oxygen atoms is -2. At the same time, the nitrogen atom has a charge of +1. Simple addition tells us that -2 + 1 = -1, so the overall charge on a nitrate ion is -1.Please see the related link below.
What element is NO3?
NO3- stands for nitrate anion. It has to have one negative charge ( .- ) in superscript position.
What is the chemical charge of nitrate?
nitrate ion is: NO3- , so it has a -1 charge
