Write a Lewis structure that obeys the octet rule for each ion. Include resonance structures if necessary and assign formal charges to each atom. a. ClO3- b. ClO4- c. NO3- d. NH4+
Use formal charges to identify the better Lewis structure.
How important is the resonance structure shown here to the overall structure of carbon dioxide? Explain.
Draw the Lewis structure (including resonance structures) for the acetate ion (CH3COO-). For each resonance structure, assign formal charges to all atoms that have formal charge.
Draw the Lewis structure (including resonance structures) for methyl azide (CH3N3). For each resonance structure, assign formal charges to all atoms that have formal charge.
What are the formal charges of the atoms shown in red?
