A student proposes the following Lewis structure for the azide (N3-) ion. In this image, the N are bonded together in a straight line. N on the left has two lone pair electrons. It is double bonded to the central N. N on the right has two lone pair electrons. It is double bonded to the central N. The structure is in brackets; there is a negative sign on the type right side outside of the bracket. Assign a formal charge to each atom in the student’s Lewis structure. atom formal charge left N central N right N
