What is the Lewis structure of hyponitrite (N2O2^2-)? I would appreciate any assistance with this. Thank you!

Hey I gotcha
The structure is going to look like O(double bond)N(single bond)N(double bond)O…(O N N O) with double bonds between the O’s and N’s and a single bond between the N’s
since you have 32 electrons required and 22 valence electrons, there are going to be 10 electrons needed to close that gap, so there will be 5 shared pairs…with this set up all of the octets will be completed and the charges on the elements should all be zero.
Hope it helps

I don’t if I can show it effectively here, let’s see: -O—S—O- …….|| ……O Two of the oxygens have a formal charge of -1, while the other atoms have a formal charge of 0, so the molecule has an overall charge of -2. Also, each atom satisfies the octet rule.
