Draw all possible Lewis dot structure for methyl azide. Include all hydrogen atoms and nonbonding electrons. Show the formal charges of all atoms.
Methyl azide
Molecular Formula CH3N3
The following simple rules may be conveniently used to draw the structure of the Azide ion and hence Methyl azide.
1.If the valency of N is 3, in a compound, it will be neutral and carry one lone pair of electrons ( Recall the structure of Ammonia molecule with one lone pair of electron on the N atom)
2. If the valency of N is 4, in a compound, it will be unipositive and carry no lone pair of electrons( Recall the structure of Ammonium ion NH4+ ion with positive charge and no lone pair of electron on the N atom)
3. If the valency of N is 2, in a compound, it will be uninegative and carry two lone pair of electrons
