Detailed Solution
In N-atom, number of valence electrons = 5Due to the presence of one negative charge, number of valence electrons = 5 + 1 = 6 one O-atom forms two (= bond) and two O-atoms shared with two electrons of N-atoms. Thus, 3O-atoms shared with 8 electrons of N-atom. ∴ Number of bond pairs (or shared pairs) = 4Number of lone pairs = 0
