Evaluating Lewis structures Here are four proposed Lewis structures for \( \mathrm{HN}_{3} \). Match each structure with the best statement. (a) (b) \( \mathrm{H}-\mathrm{N} \equiv \mathrm{N}=\mathrm{N} \) : (c) \( \mathrm{H}-\stackrel{\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{N}} \mathrm{N} \equiv \mathrm{N} \) : (d) \( \mathrm{H}-\ddot{\mathrm{N}}=\mathrm{N}=\ddot{\mathrm{N}} \) : There are adjacent like charges and the octet rule is violated. There are adjacent like charges. There are no adjacent like charges and the two nitrogen-nitrogen distances are different. There are no adjacent like charges and the two nitrogen-nitrogen distances are the same.
