Question

The formula for nitryl chloride is CINO2 (in which N is the central atom).

a.Draw the Lewis structure for the molecule, including all resonance structures.

b.What is the N-O bond order?

c.Describe the electron-pair and molecular geometries and give values for all bond angles.

d.What is the most polar bond in the molecule? Is the molecule polar?

e.The computer program used to calculate electrostatic potential surfaces gave the following charges on atoms in the molecule: A =-0.03, B = -0.26, and C = +0.56. Identify the atoms A, B, and C. Are these calculated charges in accord with your predictions?
