the carbon has 4valence showing, the nitrogen has 5, the oxygen has 6 plus the charge so one extra electron equals a total of 16 valence e- showing. the bonds are fairly easy to figure out from there. C=N=O (those are double bonds, not equal signs) and when drawing dots, two pair (4 dots) go on the sides of both C and O. hope this helps!

EDIT: The above poster is incorrect. Nitrogen would not be the central atom since it has a higher electronegativity than Carbon. Therefore, the structure would be:

[N (triple bond) C (single bond) O]

The reason the Carbon and Nitrogen has a triple bond is because of Formal Charge. If you calculate Formal Charge and there is a -1 charge on an atom, then that -1 needs to go to the most electronegative atom. With this in mind, since Oxygen is the MOST electronegative, then the -1 charge needs to be on Oxygen.

In the best Lewis structure for the fulminate ion cno- what is the formal charge on the central nitrogen atom?

The best Lewis structure for the fulminate ion (CNO-) has a formal charge of -1 on the central nitrogen atom. This is achieved by placing all three atoms in a linear structure with a triple bond between carbon and nitrogen, and a single bond between nitrogen and oxygen.


What is the most stable resonance structure for the CNO ion with nitrogen as the central atom?
