1 What is the total number of valence electrons in the Lewis structure of NO₂CI? electrons 2 Draw a Lewis structure for NO₂CI. • Do not include overall ion charges or formal charges in your drawing. If the species contains oxygen, do not draw double bonds to oxygen unless they are needed in order for the central atom to obey the octet rule.
