What is the Lewis electron dot structure of the ion compound molecule Boron Nitride?

Answer 1

Boron nitride is isoelectronic with graphite.

I seem to remember that this is a white powder. Boron nitride is isoelectronic and (sometimes) isostructural with carbon graphite. Three valence electrons from boron and five from nitrogen. See this site.

Boron nitride (BN) has a Lewis structure with boron as the central atom, bonded to three nitrogen atoms. Each nitrogen atom has one lone pair of electrons.
