oblem 1.15 Draw a second resonance structure for nitrous acid. Label each resonance structure as a major, minor, or equal con

Hello, I just subscribed for studying chemistry.
Thank you for seeing my question.

I saw the answer for this problem, but I could't understand why the electron dots aren't drawn for the two oxygen.

I think the right oxygen has 2 lone pair because of the octec rule. Actually, I'm confused because the partial negative charge of the right oxygen in the resonance hybrid comes from minor contributor that has the oxygen having 3 lone pair. What is correct?

If you can't understand my sentance of question, please tell me.

Thank you for reading my question.
