Chapter 6, Problem 56QRT

Draw resonance structures for each of these ions: NSO and SNO. (The atoms are bonded in the order given in each case, that is, S is the central atom in NSO.)

  1. (a) Use formal charges to determine which ion is likely to be more stable.
  2. (b) Explain why the two ions cannot be considered resonance structures of each other.
Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Consider the formate ion, HCO2", which is the anion formed when formic acid loses an H* ion. The H and the two O atoms are bonded to the central C atom. (a) Draw the best Lewis structure(s) for this ion. (b) Are resonance structures needed to describe the structure? Explain briefly (c) Would you predict that the C-O bond lengths in the formate ion would be longer or shorter relative to those in CO2? Explain briefly
Some chemists believe that satisfaction of the octet rule should be the top criterion for choosing the dominant Lewis structure of a molecule or ion. Other chemists believe that achieving the best formal charges should be the top criterion. Consider the dihydrogen phosphate ion, HaPO, , in which the H atoms are bonded to O atoms. (a) What is the predicted dominant Lewis structure if satisfying the octet rule is the top eriterion? (b) What is the predicted dominant Lewis structure if achieving the best formal charges is the top criterion?
A Lewis structure for OF2, H3COH and NO+ are shown below.  Pick the best answer.  (Note:  formal charges are circled.)
