Below are 3 possible Lewis Structures for NCO-. Lewis Structures for NCO- Click to Show Image Description Structure A shows a bracketed Lewis structure labeled “(A)” below the structure. Inside the brackets, nitrogen is on the left, carbon is in the center, and oxygen is on the right. Nitrogen is triple bonded to carbon, and carbon is single bonded to oxygen. Nitrogen has one lone pair shown to its left. Oxygen has three lone pairs shown, with one above, one to the right, and one below the oxygen. A minus sign appears outside the brackets near the upper right. Click to Show Image Description Structure B shows a bracketed Lewis structure labeled “(B)” below the structure. Inside the brackets, oxygen is on the left, carbon is in the center, and nitrogen is on the right. Oxygen is double bonded to carbon, and carbon is double bonded to nitrogen. Oxygen has two lone pairs shown, with one above and one below the oxygen. Nitrogen has two lone pairs shown, with one above and one below the nitrogen. A minus sign appears outside the brackets near the upper right. Click to Show Image Description Structure C shows a bracketed Lewis structure labeled “(C)” below the structure. Inside the brackets, oxygen is on the left, carbon is in the center, and nitrogen is on the right. Oxygen is triple bonded to carbon, and carbon is single bonded to nitrogen. Oxygen has one lone pair shown to its left. Nitrogen has three lone pairs shown, with one above, one to the right, and one below the nitrogen. A minus sign appears outside the brackets near the upper right.
