Chlorine Nitrate resonance?

Postby Aanya Munagala 1D » Mon Nov 11, 2024 1:13 pm

Hello,

I was working on one of the textbook problems and it asked to draw the lewis structure for Chlorine Nitrate, ClONO2. After sketching it, I drew two resonance structures, but in the textbook answers, they only drew one structure. Does this molecule have resonance?

Thanks!

Hi! I got the same thing for chlorine nitrate, and believe both resonance structures work. Google seems to also show that it exhibits resonance. Maybe the textbook only showed one?
