Question

Write Lewis structures for the following. Show all resonance structures where applicable. a. $\mathrm{NO}_{2}^{-}, \mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-}, \mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}\left(\mathrm{~N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}\right.$ exists as $\left.\mathrm{O}_{2} \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{NO}_{2} .\right)$ b. $\mathrm{OCN}^{-}, \mathrm{SCN}^{-}, \mathrm{N}_{3}^{-}\left(\right.$ Carbon is the central atom in $\mathrm{OCN}^{-}$ and $\mathrm{SCN}^{-} .$ )

Step 1

For $\mathrm{NO}_{2}^{-}$, we have the following resonance structures: $$\mathrm{O}=\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{O}^{-} \longleftrightarrow \mathrm{O}^{-}-\mathrm{N}=\mathrm{O}$$ For $\mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-}$, we have the following resonance Show more…
