Chapter 9, Problem 30E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The charge on the atoms with formal charges and the Lewis structure (including resonance structures) for the methyl azide $\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{N}}_{\text{3}}\right)$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: Resonance is a hypothetic phenomenon of representing the structure of a molecule by more than one structure but none of these hypothetic structures represent the actual structure of molecule.

To determine: The charge on the atoms with formal charges and the Lewis structure (including resonance structures) for the methyl azide $\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{N}}_{\text{3}}\right)$ .
