Chapter 9, Problem 9.134QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The resonance formulas for given molecule has to be written and the NN bond length in the molecule is estimated.

Concept introduction:

Resonance formula:

The electron structure of a given molecule contains delocalized bonding via possible structure of all electron-dot formulas is known as resonance description.

One form of resonance stable structure is converted into other forms.  It possible in both single and multiple bonds molecule.  The electron-dot formulas differing only in the placement of single and double bonds

Lewis structure otherwise known as Lewis dot diagrams or electron dot structures that show the bond between atoms and lone pairs of electrons that are present in the molecule. Lewis structure represents each atom and their position in structure using the chemical symbol.  Excess electrons forms the lone pair are given by pair of dots, and are located next to the atom.
