Question

Diazomethane, CH_2 N_2, is 3 yellow, poisonous, potentially explosive gas used to convert carboxylic acids to methyl esters. Since ground-glass joints in common laboratory glassware promote explosions of diazomethane, special glassware without such joints has been developed to handle diazomethane. The structure of diazomethane is a hybrid of three resonance forms: Consider the following statements regarding the structure of diazomethane and choose the correct statement(s). The net charge on the carbon atom is negative. The net charge on the internal nitrogen atom is positive. Carbon-nitrogen bond length is identical to nitrogen-nitrogen bond length.
