Question
Use the arrow formalism to write structures for the resonance forms contributing to the structures of the following ions:
Step 1
Nitrate ion (NO3-) Resonance forms for nitrate ion can be represented as: O=N-O(-) <-> O(-)-N=O <-> (-)O-N-O In arrow formalism: a) O=N-O(-) -> O(-)-N=O The double bond between N and O moves to form a double bond between N and the other O, while the negative Show more…
