In the Lewis formula of which of the species, the number of single, double and dative bonds are equal,
N2O5
HNO3
SO2
SOCl2
As we learnt in
Lewis structure -
1. pair of bonded electrons is by means of a dash (-) usually called a bond
2. Lone pairs or non-bonded electrons are represented by dots
3. Electron represent in the last shell of atoms are called valence electrons.
- wherein
Lewis structure of N2O5
Clearly, no. of single bonds = no. of double bonds =no. of dative bonds = 2
