Chapter 8, Problem 8.80QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The Lewis structures for the ${\left[{\text{S}}_{\text{3}}{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}\right]}^{2+}$ cation including all resonance forms are to be stated.

Concept introduction: The Lewis structures are also called electron dot structures. In the Lewis structure electrons are denoted by dots. These dots represent the number of electrons present in the outer most shell of an element. The resonating structures of ${\left[{\text{S}}_{\text{3}}{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}\right]}^{2+}$ cation lead to the stability of its cationic form.

To determine: The Lewis structure for the ${\left[{\text{S}}_{\text{3}}{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}\right]}^{2+}$ cation including all resonance forms.
