Chapter 4, Problem 95AE

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ molecule is linear and polar. On the basis of this experimental evidence, the correct arrangement among $\text{NNO}$ and $\text{NON}$ is to be stated with explanation. Lewis structure of ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ is to be drawn and formal charge on each atom and hybridization of central atom is to be stated. Multiple bonding in $\text{NNO}$ is to be described.

Concept introduction: When the atomic orbitals overlap with each other in the region where density of electrons is high, then molecular orbitals are formed. Overlap of the atomic orbitals determines the efficiency of the interaction between the atomic orbitals.

Energy of bonding molecular orbitals is less than the nonbonding molecular orbitals.

To determine: The correct arrangement for ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ molecule.
