Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3.27P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The structures of
Concept introduction: A molecule may have multiple possible structures. But the structure taken into consideration is the most stable structure. For maximum stability, the repulsions must be minimum. The electron pairs must be aligned at proper angles so that the repulsions are to the least extent.

Use the following set of assumptions to estimate the CN bond length in fulminic acid:
1) only the two best structures contribute to the true structure
2) the best structure contributes 75%,
3) the CN single bond is 1.47 pm, the double is 1.32 pm and the triple is L.16 pm.

Would structure #7 be more likely or less likely than structure #6?
How many of the resonance structures would you describe as "Very Likely"?
Based on the relative likelihood of these possibilities, determine the average bond order for the internal N-O bond in the molecule (indicated by the arrow in the picture below. If your answer is a fraction, enter that fraction as the
decimal equivalent (i.e. 11/3 = 1.333, etc.)
Average Bond Order =
