- 3a) The nitrosyl ion, NO*, is a very rare case of a cationic ligand that can function as a Lewis base. Draw the Lewis structure of this ligand under consideration of the VSEPR rules and indicate any formal charges on the constituent atoms. 3b) How many electrons does the NO* ligand contribute on the ionic model and the neutral model, respectively? Assume that the Metal-N-O bonding angle is 180° upon coordination.arrow_forwardIn Organic Chemistry, explain about bulky ligand. What are bulky ligand ?arrow_forwardDraw the Lewis structure of NH₃.
