Problem 6E
Visualizing Concepts
Incomplete Lewis structures for the nitrous acid molecule, HNO2, and the nitrite ion, NO2 –, are shown here
(a) Complete each Lewis structure by adding electron pairs as needed, (b) Is the formal charge on N the same or different in these two species? (c) Would either HNO2 or NO2– be expected to exhibit resonance? (d) Would you expect the N═O bond in HNO2 to be longer, shorter, or the same length as the N―O bonds in NO2–? [Sections]
H―O―N═O O―N═O
