Chapter 22, Problem 108IAE

Chemists have successfully synthesized the ionic compound $\left[N_8\right]\left[Sb{F}_8\right]$ , which consists of $N_5{}^{+}$ and $Sb{F}_6{}^{-}$ ions. Draw Lewis structures for these ions and assign formal charges to the atoms in your structures. Describe the structures of these ions. [Hint: The skeleton structure for $N_5{}^{+}$ is N — N — N — N — N and several resonance structures can be drawn.]
