The two chemical species differ by just one electron. Nitrogen dioxide is an orange-brown gas with a tendency to dimerize to form liquid N2O4 because of a partially unpaired electron in its structure.
Nitrite ion has a negative charge because an additional electron has been added to pair with the partially unpaired electron in NO2. Since it has a negative charge, it cannot be isolated in pure form, and must be paired with a positive counterion, typically an alkali metal ion such as Na+ or K+.

does any thing differ with both the chemical formulas??
i mean r they both same??
No they are not same
Formula of nitrogen dioxide is= NO2.
Formula of Nitrite is=NO2−
Formula of Nitrite is=NO2−
both r No2.. but nitrite is negative and nitrogen dioxide is positive??
am i right??
yes
thanks
There is difference of one electron
oh
