in problem 33 in the 6th edition, it asks for the lewis structure of NOF.

the solutions manual shows a double bond between O and N, with N having a lone pair, O having 2 lone pairs, and F having 3 lone pairs and a bond with N.

Why couldn't you have two double bonds between N and O/F with O and F having 2 lone pairs each? Why does the double bond have to be with the O? Could it also be with the F?

F cannot make double bonds because it has 7 valence electrons and only has room to make one single bond to form an octet.
It is more like that the nitrogen and oxygen will form a double bond.
