How many equivalent lewis structures are necessary to describe the bonding in no2cl?
1 answer:
Answer:
The correct answer is "two".
Explanation:
The main bondings that has an effect in a Lewis structure in NO2Cl are the double bondings occurring between the Oxygen atoms and the Nitrogen atom. Since the NO2Cl compound has two oxygen atoms attached to the nitrogen atom, two equivalent lewis structures will be necessary to describe it. I attached an example of two equivalent Lewis structure corresponding to a NO2 molecule.
