Question:

Draw the Lewis structure (including resonance structures) for diazomethane {eq}(CH_2N_2) {/eq}. For each resonance structure, assign formal charges to all atoms that have a formal charge.

Resonance Structures:

Resonance structures (hypothetical structures) can be drawn by delocalizing the lone pairs and pi-bonds within the structures. Resonance enhances the stability of a molecule.
