Answer: Nitrous oxide (N2O) has three possible Lewis

Chapter 8, Problem 8.133

(choose chapter or problem)

Nitrous oxide (N2O) has three possible Lewis structures: N N O N O N N O N Given the following bond lengths, NiN 167 pm NwO 115 pm NwN 120 pm NiO 147 pm N{N 110 pm rationalize the observations that the NON bond length in N2O is 112 pm and that the NOO bond length is 119 pm. Assign formal charges to the resonance structures for N2O. Can you eliminate any of the resonance structures on the basis of formal charges? Is this consistent with observation?
