Choose the statements that are true about the proposed Lewis structure shown below for the molecule [HCNH]+.?

Question

[H-C=N-H] +
(there are two dots on the top of the N!)


a) For this Lewis structure the number of valence electrons shown is correct
b) All of the atoms have an octet of electrons
c) In this Lewis structure the formal positive charge is on the carbon atom
d) This is the best Lewis structure for the molecule [HCNH]+

Answer 1

a) is true.
b) false; C lacks an octet
c) true
d) A better one would be H-C*triplebond*N-H, with (+) on N

This species comes about by protonationof hydrogen cyanide. There are a lot of Lewis structures that can contribute to the overall properties, but the title structure is not the best.
