Carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen form two different polyatomic ions: cyanate ion (NCO) and fulminate ion (CNO). Write Lewis
structures for each anion, including near-equivalent resonance structures (do not add any arrows between structures) and indicating
formal charges. The isocyanate ion also has two near-equivalent structures, but the formal charge on the nitrogen attom cannot be
reduced to zero:
Cyanate ion (NCO)
The carbonate anion, CO32- , is a resonance hybrid. Draw all of the important resonance structures for this molecule. If an atom has a nonzero formal charge, be sure the formal charge is shown clearly in the structure. Use the resonance structures to calculate the average formal charge on each O atom (which are all equivalent in the "true" structure). [Note: all of the important contributing resonance structures have octets around each atom that desires an octet.]
Draw Lewis structures for each of the following ions. One atom in each ion has a formal charge that is not zero.Determine which atom it is, and what the formal charge is. (a) the C2H5 anion; (b) the CH3O cation; (c) the CH6N cation;(d) the CH5O cation; (e) the C3H3 anion (all three H atoms are on the same carbon)
