As we learnt in 

Lewis structure -

1. pair of bonded electrons is by means of a dash (-) usually called a bond 

2. Lone pairs or non-bonded electrons are represented by dots

3. Electron represent in the last shell of atoms are called valence electrons. 

- wherein

 

Lewis structure of N2O5

 Clearly, no. of single bonds = no. of double bonds =no. of dative bonds = 2
