Answer 1

Answer:

Lewis structures, also known as Lewis dot diagrams,Lewis dot formulas,Lewis dot structures, electron dot structures, or Lewis electron dot structures (LEDS), are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.

In 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 nitrite ion Lewis structure
