Question

Find Lewis dot structure and formal charge of NO2 1-

Answer 1

Answer:

This is the NO2- Lewis structure: the nitrite ion. For Nitrogen we have 5 valence electrons; 6 for Oxygen, but we have two Oxygens so we'll multiply that by two; plus one for this valence electron up here; gives us a total of 18 valence electrons for the NO2- Lewis structure
