[:ö==S: N= CO :O: The best structure would have double bond and two lone pairs on each oxygen atom and a single bond with three lone pairs on the sulfur. There are no errors. This is the best possible structure. The Lewis structure above does not minimize formal charges, thus is the not the best possible structure. The nitrogen atom has an expanded octet, and this structure is impossible. The Lewis structure contains the wrong number of electrons, thus this structure is impossible.arrow_forward

- The formal charge is the "charge" an element would have in a molecule or ion if all of the bonding electrons were shared equally between atoms. Use the References to access important values if needed for this question. We can draw three inequivalent Lewis structures for dinitrogen monoxide, N₂O . The concepts of formal charge and electronegativity can help us choose the structure that is the most significant representation. 1. Assign formal charges to the elements in each of the structures below. Formal Charge N₁ N₂ :N,=N,-O: || A N=N,=Ô N-N,=O: C 2.
