now let us assume that in that oxide *per molecule* there are 'x' atoms of nitrogen and 'y' atoms of oxygen then molecular weigh is given by :
X×14 + Y×16 [ since atomic weigh of nitrogen is 14 and that of oxygen is 16]
now according to question molecualr weigh is 46 =>
14x +16y = 46
according to hit and trial method,
X =1 and Y=2
=> chemical formulae of compound was NO2
=> total number of electrons in that compound is :
7(from nitrogen) + 2×8(from two atom of oxygen)
=7 + 16
=23.
