Nitrous oxide (N2O) has three possible Lewis structures:

Chapter 3, Problem 104E, Nitrous oxide (N2O) has three possible Lewis structures: Given the following bond lengths, NN 167 pm

Given the following bond lengths,

N—N 167 pm

N9N 120 pm

N:N 110 pm

N9O 115 pm

N—O 147 pm

rationalize the observations that the N—N bond length in N2O is 112 pm and that the N—O bond length is 119 pm. Assign formal charges to the resonance structures for N2O. Can you eliminate any of the resonance structures on the basis of formal charges? Is this consistent with observation?
