+ . .
(b) : N = N = O :
. .
. . . . . .
(c) N = N = O:
. . . .
(d): N = N = O:
. .

Answer 1

Answer:

I think so answers is (d): N=N=O:

Answer 2

Lewis electron dot structure or dot structure, is the  diagram which shows the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons, which may be exist in that molecule.

• N atom has 5 valence electrons.
• O atom has 6 valence electrons.
• According to dot structure, all the atoms must have octet structure.
• Nitrogen is least electronegative atom here, so it plays as a central atom
• Oxygen is most electronegative.
• Formal charge must be negative on most electronegative Oxygen.
• These points leads to the option : N = N = O:  . .
