Question

Draw three resonance structures for CNS. This species has its three atoms bonded sequentially in the following fashion: C-N-S. Draw your resonance structures so that the atoms in them are bonded together in this order Select the most important resonance structure for this species based on the formal charges on the atoms of the three resonance structures you have drawn. Select the choices from below which make the statements true about this (most important) resonance structure (a) The leftmost bond (between C and N) is a rSelect-: bond. (b) The rightmost bond (between N and S) is aSeled bond (c) The formal charge on the leftmost (C) atom is(-Select- (d) The formal charge on the central (N) atom is (e) The formal charge on the rightmost (S) atom is (1) The number of nonbonding pairs (lone pairs) of electrons in the leftmost (C) atom isSelec-- pairs (9) The number of nonbonding (lone) pairs of electrons in the rightmost (S) atom isSelech- pairs 0 6
