Draw the Lewis structure of nitrogen dioxide. Start by drawing the overall structure of the molecule, ignoring potential double and triple bonds: Count the total valence electrons of the nitrogen (n_N, val = 5) and oxygen (n_O, val = 6) atoms: n_N, val + 2 n_O, val = 17 Calculate the number of electrons needed to completely fill the valence shells for nitrogen (n_N, full = 8) and oxygen (n_O, full = 8): n_N, full + 2 n_O, full = 24 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 24 - 17 = 7 bonding electrons are expected (in such cases with an odd number, round down to 6 bonding electrons). Each bond has two electrons, so in addition to the 2 bonds already present in the diagram add 1 bond. To minimize formal charge oxygen wants 2 bonds and nitrogen wants 3 bonds. Identify the atoms that want additional bonds and the number of electrons remaining on each atom: Fill in the 1 bond by pairing electrons between adjacent highlighted atoms. Note that double bonding nitrogen to the other highlighted oxygen atom would result in an equivalent molecule: Answer: | |
