How do you draw the lewis structure for NO2?

##NO_2## is an odd electron species, with 17 valence electrons (nitrogen = 5 and oxygen = 12). Here is a video showing how to draw the Lewis structure:

Note that the single electron goes on the nitrogen. When I did a search that eventually found this video, I noticed several NO2 structures that put the odd electron on the oxygen. This is incorrect.
