the carbon has 4valence showing, the nitrogen has 5, the oxygen has 6 plus the charge so one extra electron equals a total of 16 valence e- showing. the bonds are fairly easy to figure out from there. C=N=O (those are double bonds, not equal signs) and when drawing dots, two pair (4 dots) go on the sides of both C and O. hope this helps!
EDIT: The above poster is incorrect. Nitrogen would not be the central atom since it has a higher electronegativity than Carbon. Therefore, the structure would be:
[N (triple bond) C (single bond) O]
The reason the Carbon and Nitrogen has a triple bond is because of Formal Charge. If you calculate Formal Charge and there is a -1 charge on an atom, then that -1 needs to go to the most electronegative atom. With this in mind, since Oxygen is the MOST electronegative, then the -1 charge needs to be on Oxygen.

+1
What is the CNO cycle?
The CNO cycle (carbon nitrogen oxygen) alternately called Bethe-Weizsäcker-cycle, is one of two types of fusion reactions by which stars convert hydrogen to helium, the other is the proton proton chain.
What is the nitroge carbon and oxygen cycle?
This is a series of nuclear fusion reactions that converts ordinary hydrogen (single protons) into helium in the cores of stars somewhat heavier than the sun. The carbon, nitrogen and oxygen are only catalysts; they are not formed or destroyed. See the Wikipedia article "CNO cycle" for all the gory details.
What is true about nitrogen and oxygen?
Lots of things are true about these two elements. You might want to be more specific. Alternatively, if this is a homework question, the answer the teacher is looking for is undoubtedly in your reading material, and you should look there rather than on the internet where you're going to get random answers (some of which may even be true, but none of which are likely to be the answer that actually earns you points).They're the major constituents of Earth's atmosphere.They're both diatomic gases.They're both nonmetals.They're both light elements.Both of them are involved in the CNO cycle.
What does carbonates mean?
Carbon is a non-metal substance that is common in pollutants and general chemistry. Carbon often chemically bonds with other metallic elements to form a compound. It can even join with another element to become an individual polyatomic ion. These include: - carbonate CO3 - hydrogen carbonate HCO3 - acetate CH3COO - cyanate CNO - oxalate C2O4 Basically, any name of an ionic compound or polyatomic ion that has the capital letter 'C' in it (not followed directly by a lower-case letter) includes carbon.
In the best Lewis structure for the fulminate ion cno- what is the formal charge on the central nitrogen atom?
+1
How does the extreme temperature sensitivity of the cno cycle affect the structure of stars?
It affects the internal structure of main-sequence stars because they have very high central temperatures for the extreme temperature sensitivity of the CNO cycle to fuse hydrogen into helium.
