No2f Lewis Structure

Why is N not double with two bones in the Lewis structure of NO2F? 3

I studied and one oxygen doubles with nitrogen. And??

If we fill 24 valence electrons, all atoms will have one byte, except N, which has only 6 valences and

To get the (8th) byte, make a double bond with one of the oxygen atoms. If it forms a double bond with two oxygen atoms, then N will be greater than eight.
