Lewis structures

Post by Sara »

I'm sorry to bother everyone about this elementary problem, but for the
life of me, I can't figure out the simple Lewis structures for

a) CH3CNO

and
b) CH3N3

Can anyone out there spend a few minutes and educate me on this one?

They have 2 Lewis structures each:

Code: Select all

a)  CH3CNO 

    H                        H 
    "       "                " 
  H&#58;C&#58;C&#58;&#58;&#58;N&#58;O&#58;    <===>    H&#58;C&#58;C&#58;&#58;N&#58;&#58;O&#58; 
    "       "                " "     " 
    H                        H 

b&#41;  CH3N3

   H                     H 
   "                     " " 
 H&#58;C&#58;N&#58;&#58;N&#58;&#58;N&#58;   <===>  H&#58;C&#58;N&#58;N&#58;&#58;&#58;N&#58;                 
   " "     "             " "         
   H                     H
