CNO- Lewis structure?

Answer:

the carbon has 4valence showing, the nitrogen has 5, the oxygen has 6 plus the charge so one extra electron equals a total of 16 valence e- showing. the bonds are fairly easy to figure out from there. C=N=O (those are double bonds, not equal signs) and when drawing dots, two pair (4 dots) go on the sides of both C and O. hope this helps!
