QUESTION

How many resonance structures are there for NO2?

There are two major structures for ##"NO"_2##.

You must first draw the Lewis structure for ##"NO"_2##.

You find that you can draw two Lewis structures.

However, there are two even better Lewis structures.

The ##"N"## atom has an unpaired electron and a positive charge.

Every atom has a formal charge of zero.

These are the two major resonance contributors to ##"NO"_2##.
