Draw all resonance structures for the nitryl fluoride molecule, NO2F.(a) Explicitly draw all H atoms.(b) Include all valence lone pairs in your answer.(c) Do not include overall ion charges or formal charges in your drawing.(d) Do not draw double bonds to oxygen unless they are needed for the central atom to obey the octet rule.(e) Draw one structure per sketcher. (f) Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner.(g) Separate resonance structures using the ↔ symbol from the drop-down menu.

When there is a double pair of electrons shared between atoms in a molecule, the position of these electrons can be changed, without changing the molecule conformation. This occurs to stabilization, the electrons are relocated. These structures are called resonance structures.

In the molecule of NO₂F, nitrogen has 5 electrons in its valence shell, so it needs 3 electrons to be stable. Oxygen has 6 electrons and needs 2 to be stable, and fluor has 7 electrons and needs one electron to be stable.

Nitrogen still has electrons after the sharing, so it can also share one pair and will have a partial positive charge. One of the oxygens will not complete the octet, so will share only one pair f electron and will have a partial negative charge, that will compensate the positive charge in nitrogen.

The two resonance structures are shown below:

The resonance structures shows all the possible contributing structures in a molecule or ion.

It not always possible to describe the bonding patterns or properties of a molecule or ion using only one resonance structure. In such cases, we have to invoke several structures that describe the various possible bonding patterns in the molecule. These structure are called resonance structures or canonical structures.

Usually, the atoms in the contributing structures are drawn in such a manner that they obey the octet rule. The resonance structures of nitrosyl fluoride are shown in the image attached to this answer.
