Question

Draw all three possible lewis dot formulas for N2O. each structure had a nitrogen-nitrogen bond length of 167 , 120 and 110 . Assign the correct bond length to the appropriate molecule?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

::N=N=O:: (-1, +1, 0)

:::N-N=-O: (-2,+1,+1)

:N=-N-O::: (0,+1,-1)

= represents double bonds

=- represents triple bonds

: represents electrons on the atoms to complete octet

numbers in the parantheses are thhe formal charges

third one is the appropriate because formal charges ae close to zero and oxygen, the most electronegative element in this compound, has largest negative formal charge

bond length: 110

if you still have question you can ask :)
