Three non-equivalent resonance structures are possible for nitrous oxide (NNO), laughing gas. (a) Draw the three resonance structure and the formal charge on each atom in each resonance structure. (b) Based on formal charges and electronegativity, which resonance structure is the most reasonable? Explain. (c) The N-N bond length in NNO is 1.12 A, slightly shorter than a typical N=N bond;and the N-O bond length is 1.19 A, slightly shorter than a typical N = O bond. Based on these data, which resonance structure best represents NNO? Explain.
