Chapter 22, Problem 22.20P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To draw the possible resonance structures for ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ and which resonance structure contributes greatest to the resonance hybrid.

Concept Introduction: Resonance structure is used to explain about delocalized electrons, or polyatomic ions which cannot be explained by Lewis structure. It contains both Lewis and bond structures, thus it is called as canonical structures. Lewis structure will explain about the contributing structures, it also explains about covalent bonds and pair of electron atoms. Resonance structures of ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ can be drawn by five different types.
