Nitrogen Dioxide Lewis Structure Resonance. You must first draw the lewis structure for no2. I also go over hybridization shape and bond angles.
I quickly take you through how to draw the lewis structure of no2 nitrogen dioxide. The lewis structure for no 2 requires you to place fewer than 8 valence electrons on nitrogen n. This chemistry video tutorial explains how to draw the lewis structure of no2 also known as nitrogen dioxide my website.
The no2cannot be satisfactorily represented by just one lewis dots structure.
These are the two major resonance contributors to no2. The no2 lewis structure has a total of 17 valence electrons. All the bonds are the same length and must be thought of as a hybrid of 2 possible resonance structures. I also go over hybridization shape and bond angles.
