Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 99AP
A stable triatomic molecule can be formed that contains one atom each of nitrogen, sulfur, and fluorine. Three bonding structures are possible, depending on which is the central atom: NSF, SNF, and SFN.
(a) Write a Lewis diagram for each of these molecules, indicating the formal charge on each atom.
(b) Often, the structure with the least separation of formal charge is the most stable. Is this statement consistent with the observed structure for this molecule—namely, NSF, which has a central sulfur atom?
(c) Does consideration of the electronegativities of N, S, and F from Figure 3.18 help rationalize this observed structure? Explain.

b. (4pts) Consider the relative stability of all cleavage products that form when bonds A,
B, AND C are homolytically cleaved/broken. Hint: cleavage products of bonds A, B,
and C are all carbon radicals.
i. Which ONE cleavage product is the most stable? A condensed or bond line
representation is fine.
ii. Which ONE cleavage product is the least stable? A condensed or bond line
representation is fine.
c. (5pts) Use principles discussed in lecture, supported by relevant structures, to
succinctly explain the why your part b (i) radical is more stable than your part b(ii)
radical. Written explanation can be no more than one-two succinct sentence(s)!
