(N/A) The oxides of nitrogen exhibit various resonance structures and geometries. The following table summarizes their structures and bond parameters:
No.Molecular FormulaResonance StructuresBond Parameters
$(1)$$N_2O$$:N=N=\ddot{O}: \leftrightarrow :N \equiv N-\ddot{O}:$$N-N=113 \ pm, N-O=119 \ pm$,Linear
$(2)$$NO$$:N=\ddot{O}: \leftrightarrow :N=\ddot{O}:$$N-O=115 \ pm$,Linear
$(3)$$N_2O_3$$O_2N-NO_2$ resonance formsPlanar,$N-N=186 \ pm, N-O=121 \ pm$
$(4)$$NO_2$$O=N-O \leftrightarrow O-N=O$Bent,$N-O=120 \ pm, \angle ONO=134^\circ$
$(5)$$N_2O_4$$O_2N-NO_2$ resonance formsPlanar,$N-N=175 \ pm, N-O=121 \ pm$
