Capitolo 9, Problema 97
The cyanate ion (OCN-) and the fulminate ion (CNO-) share the same three atoms but have vastly different properties. The cyanate ion is stable, while the fulminate ion is unstable and forms explosive compounds. The resonance structures of the cyanate ion are explored in Example 9.8. Draw Lewis structures for the fulminate ion—including possible resonance forms— and use formal charge to explain why the fulminate ion is less stable (and therefore more reactive) than the cyanate ion.
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Step 1: Draw the Lewis structure for the fulminate ion (CNO-). Start by counting the total number of valence electrons. Carbon has 4, Nitrogen has 5, Oxygen has 6, and there is an extra electron due to the negative charge, giving a total of 16 electrons.
Step 2: Arrange the atoms. The least electronegative atom usually goes in the center, but in this case, we know from the formula that Carbon is in the center. Connect the atoms with single bonds. This uses up 6 electrons, leaving 10.
Step 3: Fill the octets of the outer atoms first. Oxygen needs 6 more electrons and Nitrogen needs 3 more, using up all 10 remaining electrons. At this point, all atoms have full octets except for Carbon, which only has 6 electrons.
Step 4: To give Carbon a full octet, we can move one of the lone pairs from Nitrogen to form a double bond with Carbon. This is one possible structure for the fulminate ion, but it has a formal charge of -1 on Nitrogen and +1 on Carbon, which is not ideal because Carbon is less electronegative than Nitrogen.
Step 5: Draw resonance structures. We can also move one of the lone pairs from Oxygen to form a double bond with Carbon. This gives another possible structure for the fulminate ion, with a formal charge of -1 on Oxygen and +1 on Carbon. These resonance structures, with their separation of charge, help to explain why the fulminate ion is less stable than the cyanate ion, which has resonance structures with no formal charges.

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Lewis Structures
Lewis structures are diagrams that represent the bonding between atoms in a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist. They help visualize the arrangement of electrons and the connectivity of atoms, which is crucial for understanding molecular stability and reactivity. By drawing Lewis structures, one can identify the formal charges on atoms, which play a significant role in determining the stability of ions like the fulminate and cyanate.

Resonance Structures
Resonance structures are different ways of drawing the same molecule that illustrate the delocalization of electrons. In the case of the fulminate ion, multiple resonance forms can be drawn, each contributing to the overall electronic structure. The stability of a molecule is often enhanced by resonance, as it allows for the distribution of charge and energy across different structures, which is less favorable in the case of the fulminate ion compared to the cyanate ion.

Formal Charge
Formal charge is a theoretical charge assigned to an atom in a molecule, calculated based on the number of valence electrons, the number of bonds, and the number of lone pair electrons. It helps predict the stability of a molecule; lower formal charges on atoms generally indicate greater stability. In the fulminate ion, the presence of higher formal charges on certain atoms compared to the cyanate ion contributes to its instability and increased reactivity.
