A stable triatomic molecule can be formed that containsone atom each of nitrogen, sulfur, and fluorine. Threebonding structures are possible, depending on which is thecentral atom: NSF, SNF, and SFN.(a) Write a Lewis diagram for each of these molecules,indicating the formal charge on each atom.(b) Often, the structure with the least separation of formal charge is the most stable.
