So in structure 2, one of the lone pairs of the side nitrogen is turned into a bonding pair of the middle nitrogen. But still, there is a lack of 2 electrons, for which another lone pair is converted into a bond pair. As mentioned in the rules, we can see all the atoms in the final lewis structure have their lowest formal charge.
N2O is similar to CO2. It has two surrounding atoms and no lone pair. A molecular geometry includes only the atoms whereas electron geometry includes all electron pairs while determining the structure. In more simple words, lone pairs are included in electron geometry and not in molecular geometry. Although the shape of the N2O molecule is linear, the sharing of electrons between the atoms is unequal. The charge intensity at not uniform across the molecule.
An explanation of the hybridization of N2O is that here the terminal nitrogen is connected to another nitrogen by a triple bond thus it is sp hybridized. The same applies to the next nitrogen. The oxygen atom is connected with the nitrogen atom by a single bond and is thus Sp3 hybridized. Using a MO diagram, the bond order of a compound can be determined which gives us an idea about bond length, bond stability as well. Here, on the left-hand side, the atomic orbital AO of nitrogen is shown and on the right-hand side, AO of oxygen is shown.
The two atomic orbitals will be placed side by side. The oxygen will remain the same in nitrous oxide as well.

N2O Preparation Methods Nitrous oxide can be prepared in more than one way. Some of the ways are:- Industrial methods :- On an industrial scale, heating of ammonium nitrate gives us nitrous oxide and water vapor. N2O molecule contains two nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atoms. Due to two sigma bonds and zero lone pairs around center atom nitrogen , shape of N2O molecule is linear.
A water molecule is not linear because of the electron structure of the oxygen atoms in the water molecules. Its configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p4. Because of this configuration oxygen has two electron pairs and two single valence electrons.
Angular: Angular molecules also called bent or V-shaped have a non-linear shape. A water molecule has two pairs of bonded electrons and two unshared lone pairs. A linear analysis mainly requires linear elastic material and small displacements infinitesimal strain theory , while a non-linear analysis considers large displacements and elastoplastic materials, therefore the superposition effect cannot be applied.
Another important difference is the stiffness matrix. One of the most important carbohydrates in the body is glucose C6H12O6. Glucose is called a monosaccharide because it forms one simple building block of more complicated carbohydrates. A long pair in the nitrogen atom left side is now caused to form a bond between nitrogen atoms.
So now there is a double bond between nitrogen atoms. With that, density of charges on atoms are decreased. But, you can see, there are charges still on atoms. So let's try another structure for N 2 O to lower the charges if its possible.
Another long pair in the nitrogen atom left side is now caused to form a bond between nitrogen atoms. So now there is a triple bond between nitrogen atoms. In this structure, charges on atoms are decreased furthermore. Structure 3 is the best most stable structure we can draw for N 2 O. It's center atom contains, around it,.
N 2 O molecule contains two nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atoms. First we should try to draw the most stable lewis structure of N 2 O to decide the shape of N 2 O molecule. Due to two sigma bonds and zero lone pairs around center atom nitrogen , shape of N 2 O molecule is linear. We can draw N 2 O resonance structures to identify the most stable structure of N 2 O. Oxidation numbers of nitrogen in N 2 O is decided from most stable structures. Finally we build the shape of N 2 O molecule.
