In the one that minimizes the formal charge, how many double bonds does the chlorine atom make? How many double bonds does each N2O5 resonance structures have? Draw the dominant Lewis structure for NO2+. Note, that this ion is isoelectronic with CO2. How many double bonds does this resonance structures have?

Incomplete Lewis structures for the nitrous acid molecule, HNO2, and the nitrite ion, NO2–, are shown here. (a) Complete each Lewis structure by adding electron pairs as needed. (b) Is the formal charge on N the same or different in these two species? (c) Would either HNO2 or NO2– be expected to exhibit resonance? (d) Would you expect the N = O bond in HNO2 to be longer, shorter, or the same length as the N – O bonds in NO2–?

Draw the Lewis dot structure for nitrite ion, NO2- below. Make sure to account for all the valence electrons and determine the formal charges on each atom. Remember a negative charge denotes that an electron has been added to the molecule. Both nitrogen bonds are equal in length. Explain. (N-group 5; O-group 6)
