Draw the Lewis structures for the following species: (a)CN-; (b) [N3]-; (c) [SCN]- For (b) and (c), there are more than one canonical structure that satisfy the Octet rule, and resonance is likely applied. Which canonical structures do you think would be the major contributor to the overall structure (i.e., resonance hybrid)?
