Last updated: 7/24/2022

Draw the best Lewis structure for the following acids (hint!: the acidic H is bonded to O in an acid). Evaluate each atom using formal charge, showing your math work as well as your formal charge answers. b. The N ion can be drawn with two double bonds, or with a single bond and a triple bond. Both structures satisfy the octet rule. Use formal charge to evaluate the structures. Which do you think is the better choice? Give reasons to support your choice.
