Chapter 8, Problem 8.84QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: In a cation containing N and O atoms, the reason for lewis structures with a positive formal charge on nitrogen to contribute more to the actual bonding in the molecules than the structures with a positive formal charge on oxygen is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Any negative formal charge should be assigned on the atoms of the most electronegative element(s).

To determine: The reason for lewis structures with a positive formal charge on nitrogen to contribute more to the actual bonding in the molecules than the structures with a positive formal charge on oxygen.
