After writing the three resonance structures of the fulminate ion, you'll notice that In each resonance structure, the least electronegative element, carbon, has a negative formal charge, making fulminate more reactive (less stable).

∙ 11y agobecause it is a radical. The molecular ion can be stable if it has an aromatic (or conjugated) structure to stabilise it. If there is a single of double bond O, this can be an active site of cleavage also.
Certain ionisation techniques will allow for a stronger molec ion than others also

In the best Lewis structure for the fulminate ion cno- what is the formal charge on the central nitrogen atom?
+1
Is chlorine ion stable or unstable?
yes chloride ion is stable coz its octet is complete.
What is the define of hydorxide ion?
hroxide contains one hydrogen and oxygen it is unstable
Is the MgF3 compond likely to occur?
No. Magnesium forms an ion with a 2+ charge while fluorine forms an ion with a 1- charge, so the resulting compound is MgF2. MgF3 would require magnesium to have a 3+ charge, which would be unstable.
Is an ion or atom more reactive?
Anything that is unstable is more reactive, and anything that is stable is less reactive. Since a charged ion requires energy to maintain its charge, it is LESS stable and thus MORE reactive.
What is the name of CNO- as an ion?
fulminate ion.
In the best Lewis structure for the fulminate ion cno- what is the formal charge on the central nitrogen atom?
+1
Is CNO a compound or element?
Neither, it is an ion that cannot exist on its own as a substance. It is known as the fulminate ion. It combines with positive ions to form various compounds.
What are fun snaps made of?
Fun snaps are made from crystals of silver fulminate - sometimes in combination with potassium chlorate, held together in a little paper twist. The silver fulminate is an unstable primary explosive that detonates on even the slightest impact.Hope this helps ya!?Ex Semper :o)
What is an unstable chemical that decays fast?
H+ ion
Is chlorine ion stable or unstable?
yes chloride ion is stable coz its octet is complete.
How can you use fulminate in a sentence?
Fulminate of Mercury makes things go boom.
How do you use fulminate in a sentence?

What can helium and neon combine with?
The unstable ion (NeHe)+ is known.
A sentence that uses the word fulminate?
Fulminate means to show protest against something. A good sentence would be, the fulminate against the new rules at work was what everyone was talking about for a week straight.
What is the meaning of fulminated?
of Fulminate
Does the ion enable a neutron to change into a proton and an electron in certain unstable atoms?
no
