Question
Write the Lewis structures for:(a) hyponitrite ion, $\left(\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\right)^{2-}$(b) $\left(\mathrm{SO}_{3}\right)_{3}$
Step 1
Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons, oxygen has 6, and we have an extra 2 electrons due to the 2- charge. So, the total number of valence electrons is $2(5) + 2(6) + 2 = 24$. Show more…
