Chapter 14, Problem 77AE

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The arrangement of ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ molecule as $\text{NNO or NON}$ needs to be determined, if ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ molecule is considered as a linear and polar.

Concept Introduction:

Lewis dot structure is the representation which shows the bonding between atoms present in a molecule. It shows lone pairs and bond pairs that existing on each bonded atom. Lewis dot structure is also known as Lewis dot formula or electron dot structure.

Formal charge on each atom can be determined with the help of number of valence shell electrons, number of lone pair electrons and bond pair electrons. The formula for the formal charge can be written as:

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{FC = VE – LE – bond pair}\\ \text{FC}\text{}\text{= formal charge}\\ \text{VE = Valence electrons }\\ \text{LE}\text{}\text{= number of lone pair electrons }\\ \text{Bond pair = Number of bond pairs}\end{array}$

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The Lewis structure of ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ molecule including resonance structure with the hybridization and formal charge needs to be determined.
