Chapter 2, Problem 5E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The legitimate Lewis structure of ${\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}$ should be drawn and the geometry around the central atom should be expressed.

Concept introduction: A Lewis structure is a diagrammatic view of a molecule, where lone pair of electrons are represented as dots, bonds are represented with lines & formal charge of each atom is mentioned near the atom.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The legitimate Lewis structure of $N{O}_2^{+}$ should be drawn and the geometry around the central atom should be expressed.
