Draw the Lewis dot structure for {eq}NO_2 {/eq}.
Question:
Draw the Lewis dot structure for {eq}NO_2 {/eq}.
Nitrogen and its Compounds:
Nitrogen form compounds with more electronegative atoms like fluorine and oxygen as well as with the least electronegative atoms like hydrogen. Moreover, it can also form a stable covalent bond with carbon and thus present in several organic compounds.
