Given: CNO2 a) Draw the Lewis structures (Do not forget to show the calculation of the number of available valance electrons)

b) Name the geometry shape

c) Indicate the polarity (polar or non-polar)

since there are no lone pairs on the central atom, this would be a trigonal planar molecule. It's polar because the shape of it does not cancel its polarity (you can think of it as not having a balanced electronegativity pull, since the nitrogen is pulling on one side, and the oxygens are pulling on the other. It would be nonpolar if the there were 3 Oxygens).

Sorry this take a little bit long. I was a little confused by the odd valence number
