Drawing HONO2(HNO3)
« on: January 24, 2010, 10:58:10 PM »
Hi,

Does anyone can help with drawing HONO2(HNO3)?

I keep moving the atoms around but still have some formal charges left.
I'm not sure if I have connect the atoms correctly.

This is what I did for the first step,
         O       H
         |        |
  H-O-N-O-N-O
         |        |
         O       O

Please let me know if my first step is correct, so that I can continue to try to do the double bond step.

Thank you so much!

Their question is asking to draw HONO2 AKA HNO3.  The brackets simple indicate another way of writing the formula.
