Draw electron-dot formulas for the two contributors to the resonance hybrid structure of the nitrite ion, NO2.

Question:

Draw electron-dot formulas for the two contributors to the resonance hybrid structure of the nitrite ion, NO2¯. (Each oxygen is connected to the nitrogen.) What is the charge on each oxygen in each contributor and in the hybrid structure? Show by curved arrows how the electron pairs can relocate to interconvert the two structures.
