(choose chapter or problem)

The following three Lewis structures can be drawn for N2O:

(a) Using formal charges, which of these three resonance forms is likely to be the most important? (b) The N一N bond length in N2O is 1.12 Å, slightly longer than a typical N☰N bond; and the N一O bond length is 1.19 Å, slightly shorter than a typical N=O bond. (See Table 8.5.) Rationalize these observations in terms of the resonance structures shown previously and your conclusion for part (a).
