The possible Lewis structures for SCN- are shown below.
The bond length for the S-C bond and C-N bond in SCN- is 167.9 pm and 118.7 pm, respectively. The C-N bond is slightly longer than the typical C-N bond and the S-C bond is slightly shorter than the typical S-C bond. Determine the best resonance structure for SCN-
