a) Write the Lewis structure for the NO3- ion and include the resonance structures.
b) Assign the Formal Load for each of the atoms in the resonance structures of the cyanate ion (OCN-). Which one has a greater contribution to the correct structure of the ion?
c) Draw the Lewis structure (including the resonance structures)
for nitromethane (CH3NO2). In each
structure of resonance, assign the value of the formal charge for
each atom.
