Essay

Draw the "best" Lewis structures of hydrogen azide,HN₁N₂N₃, and the azide ion,N₁N₂N₃^{-S1S1P.The subscripts are used for identification.For each,match the following bond lengths to the correct N-N bond.The bond lengths can be used more than once.
$\begin{array}{lll}&\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{N} \text { bond }&\text { Bond length, pm }\\\text { hydrogen azide } & \mathrm{N}_{1}-\mathrm{N}_{2} & 113 \\& \mathrm{~N}_{2}-\mathrm{N}_{3} & 116 \\\text { azide ion } & \mathrm{N}_{1}-\mathrm{N}_{2} & 124 \\& \mathrm{~N}_{2}-\mathrm{N}_{3} &\end{array}$}
