The isomeric ions NSO- (thiazate) and SNO- (thionitrite) ions have been reported. (S. P. So, Inorg. Chem. , 1989 , 28 , 2888).

a. On the basis of the resonance structures of these ions, predict which would be more stable.

b. Sketch the approximate shapes of the π and π* orbitals of these ions.

c. Predict which ion would have the shorter N–S bond and which would have the higher energy N–S stretching vibration? (Stronger bonds have higher energy vibrations.)
