There are actually 3 possible Lewis structures for nitrous oxide. However, the correctly drawn structure is based on which Lewis structure provides the lowest formal charge of the molecule. The correct Lewis structure for nitrous oxide is described below.
To start, count the total number of valence electrons that make up the molecule. In this case, there are a total of 16 valence electrons (total of 10 from the nitrogen atoms and 6 from the oxygen atom). Begin drawing the Lewis structure by placing one of the nitrogen atoms in the center. On the left side of the nitrogen atom, draw a triple bond connecting the second nitrogen atom. On the right side of the central nitrogen atom, draw a single bound connecting the oxygen atom. The oxygen molecule is placed on the right side, indicating that it is more electronegative than the nitrogen molecules.
Lastly, we need to assign the remaining electrons. Because these electrons are not bonding pairs of electrons, they are called lone pairs. To finish the Lewis structure, assign one lone pair to the left-most nitrogen atom, and 3 lone pairs to the oxygen atom.
"Arrange atoms in a straight line as follows o n n o the bonds are o single bond n double bond n double bond o the first o has 3 lone pairs neother ns have any lone pairs and the last oxygen has 2 lone pairs the formail charges (plus and minus 1) cancel out and it it neutral"
^^^^^^^^
You were VERY close; However, this is not correct. If you want minimal formal charges (which you do) then it would look like O=N-N=O. You would have two lone pairs on BOTH of the Oxygens and a single loan pair on BOTH of the Nitrogens. This way, all of your formal charges will be zero.
N2H2 stands for dinitrogen hidride.
Lewis
H-N=N-H
it has a tripple bond and two electrons on each nitrogen
: N_=N :
Triple bond that I can not draw well on here.
it is a fire
it has a triple bond :N:::N:
Nitrogen gas (N2) has 1 triple bond between the two nitrogen atoms. N-triplebond-N.
Yes, XeF4, or xenon tetrafluoride, has a Lewis structure.
The dot structure for IO4 starts with the I atom in the center. from this, there are three doubly bonded O atoms and one singly bonded O atom. The O atom has three pair of dots and the others have two pair of dots. The structure is then bracketed and noted with a 1- superscript.

The N2 molecule consists of two nitrogen atoms held together by a triple bond. Each nitrogen atom also has a lone-pair of electrons. Therefore, the structure looks like this: :N~N: (~ represents triple bond)
Nitrogen gas (N2) has 1 triple bond between the two nitrogen atoms. N-triplebond-N.
Atomic nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and 4 valence orbitals (2s, 2px, 2py, and 2pz). In the Lewis structure there is a triple bond between the nitrogen atoms and non-bonding pair of electrons on each. This consist with the physical properties of N2.

Lewis structure was created in 1916.
N2 (it is a diatomic gas)
What is Lewis Structure for the bicarbonate ion
Yes, XeF4, or xenon tetrafluoride, has a Lewis structure.
No, not exactly. It is an ionic compound so it would not have a Lewis dot structure. However, the carbonate anion, CO3^2- does have a Lewis dot structure.
The dot structure for IO4 starts with the I atom in the center. from this, there are three doubly bonded O atoms and one singly bonded O atom. The O atom has three pair of dots and the others have two pair of dots. The structure is then bracketed and noted with a 1- superscript.
Oxygen gas has the molecular formula of O2 and nitrogen gas is N2. The Lewis dot structures that represent both diatomic gases are::O=O: :N:::N:
Potassium oxide (K2O) is an ionic compound, not a molecule, and does not have a Lewis structure.
