Question 15 (1 point)
Below you can find two Lewis structures for C$_2$H$_3$NO. Which of the structures is
better, I or II? Why?
H$_3$C
N
\( \equiv \)C
\( \ddot{O} \):
I
H$_3$C
$^+$N\( \equiv \)C
$^-$O
II
Structure I, because there are fewer formal charges.
Structure II, because there are more formal charges.
Structure II, because the nitrogen has positive charge.
Structure I, because the most electronegative atom has a formal charge of 0.
Structure II, because oxygen has a negative formal charge.
