Which of the following statements concerning the N₂O molecule is/are true? The atoms are bonded in the order NNO. You may select more than one, or none, of the responses. The central N atom is sp² hybridized. The structure of N2O is best represented as a hybrid of three equivalent resonance structures, There are two σ and two bonds. The N2O molecule is linear. The central N atom has a formal charge of +1. The N-N-O angle is 60°, The two N atoms have the same oxidation state.
Which of the following is not a correct statement from the Lewis Theory of Bonding? A full valence shell of electrons may be achieved by the sharing of electrons between non-metal atoms. Atoms and ions are stable if they have a full valence shell of electrons. The sharing of electrons results in a covalent bond. Electrons are most stable when they are unpaired.
