Chapter 2, Problem 16E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Whether there is any box in the table in model 5 having N atom with zero bonds and 3 lone pairs.

Concept introduction:Losing 1 electron around an atom from its ground state gives a +1 formal charge to that atom. Adding extra electron to an atom will give a negative charge to the atom.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Whether there is any box in the table in model 5 having O atom with 3 bonds and zero lone pairs.

Concept introduction: Losing 1 electron around an atom from its ground state gives a +1 formal charge to that atom. Adding extra electron to an atom will give a negative charge to the atom.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reasons for the statement being true should be explained.

Concept introduction: Losing 1 electron around an atom from its ground state gives a +1 formal charge to that atom. Adding extra electron to an atom will give a negative charge to the atom. The occurrence of formal charges can be determined by counting the number of bonds & lone pair.

Why are the two resonance structures I circled in green incorrect? My professor's answer key is the picture with the red text.
What reagants are needed to convert from first structure to second structure?
What happens to the bond angle (column 4) as the # of lone pairs (column 2) increases?  Based on your answer above, do lone pairs or bonds take up more space?
