Write the resonating structures of `NO_(2)^(Θ)` (nitrite ion) and `NO_(3)^(Θ)` (nitrate ion) .

Explanation

To write the resonating structures of the nitrite ion (NO₂⁻) and the nitrate ion (NO₃⁻), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Determine the Lewis Structure of the Nitrite Ion (NO₂⁻)
1. Count the total number of valence electrons:
- Nitrogen (N) has 5 valence electrons.
- Each Oxygen (O) has 6 valence electrons, and there are 2 Oxygens.
- The nitrite ion has an overall charge of -1, which means we add 1 additional electron.
- Total = 5 + (2 × 6) + 1 = 18 valence electrons.
