A step-by-step explanation of how
A step-by-step explanation of how to draw the NO2 - Lewis Dot Structure (Nitrite ion).
For the NO2 - structure use the periodic table to find the total number of valence electrons for the NO2 - molecule. Once we know how many valence electrons there are in NO2 - we can distribute them around the central atom with the goal of filling the outer shells of each atom.
In the Lewis structure of NO2 - structure there are a total of 18 valence electrons. NO2 - is also called Nitrite ion.
Nitrogen is the least electronegative atom in the NO2- Lewis structure and therefore goes in the center of the structure.
In order to make sure the outer shell of the Nitrogen (N) atom is full you will need to form a double bond with one of the Oxygen (O) atoms in this Lewis structure.
Also note that you should put the NO2- Lewis structure in brackets with as 1- on the outside to show that it is an ion with a negative one charge.

--Steps to Write Lewis Structure for compounds like NO2
1. Find the total valence electrons for the NO2 - molecule.
2. Put the least electronegative atom in the center. Note: Hydrogen (H) always goes outside.
3. Put two electrons between atoms to form a chemical bond.
4. Complete octets on outside atoms.
5. If central atom does not have an octet, move electrons from outer atoms to form double or triple bonds.
Lewis Structures are important to learn because they help us understand how atoms and electrons are arranged in a molecule, such as Nitrite ion. This can help us determine the molecular geometry, how the molecule might react with other molecules, and some of the physical properties of the molecule (like boiling point and surface tension).
