Question:
The chemistry of the nitrite ion and HNO2:
(a) Two resonance structures are possible for NO2−. Draw these structures, and then find the formal charge on each atom in each resonance structure.
(b) In forming the acid HNO2 an H+ ion attaches to the O atom and not the N atom of NO2−. Explain why you would predict this result.
(c) Two resonance structures are possible for HNO2. Draw these structures, and then find the formal charge on each atom in each resonance structure. Is either of these structures strongly preferred over the other?
