Answer: The following three Lewis structures can be drawn

Chapter , Problem 92AE

(choose chapter or problem)

The following three Lewis structures can be drawn for \(N_{2} O\):

(a) Using formal charges, which of these three resonance forms is likely to be the most important?

(b) The \(N-N \) bond length in \(N_{2} O \text { is } 1.12 \AA\), slightly longer than a typical

\(N=N\) bond; and the \(N-O\) bond length is \(1.19 \AA\), slightly shorter than a typical bond (see Table 8.5). Based on these data, which resonance structure best represents \(N_{2} O\)?
