QUESTION:

In 1999 an unusual cation containing only nitrogen \(\left(\mathrm{N}_{5}^{+}\right)\) was prepared. Draw three resonance structures of the ion, showing formal charges. (Hint: The \(\mathrm {N}\) atoms are joined in a linear fashion.)

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

Resonance structures are sets of Lewis structures that explain how the electrons in a polyatomic ion or molecule become delocalized.
