Question

The structure of NO2 how many electrons are in covalent bonds?

A. 2
B. 3
C. 4
D. 6

Answer 1

6

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Lewis structure drawn, we can see that there is a total of 3 bonds formed (2 bonds between N and one O and another bond between N and the other O) 2 electrons should participate to form each bond. So the total number of electrons forming covalent bonds is 6.
