For the cyanate ion (NCO), a. Draw three reasonable Lewis structures (i.e. resonance structures) that obey the octet rule. b. Calculate the formal charge for each element in each structure. Clearly show your work c. Clearly identify the most stable structure based on the formal charges calculated in part b. d. Explain the reason for the structure you selected as most stable.
WHATS THE ANSWER? When drawing resonance structures, the most stable resonance structure is the one in which: O All atoms have a formal charge. O If there are formal charges, like charges are as close as possible. O Negative formal charges are on the least electronegative atoms. O Positive formal charges are on the least electronegative atoms. Next
