Question:

In the gas phase, the oxide N2O5 has a structure with an N - O - N core, with the other four oxygen atoms in terminal positions. In contrast, in the solid phase, the stable form is [NO2]+[NO3]-. Draw one Lewis structure of the molecular form (with N–O–N single bonds) and all possible resonance structures of both ions observed in the solid. Remember that second-period elements never exceed an octet.
