Question

Please answer a and b for these two compounds: [Ni(CN)5]3-   and    MnO4-

a,) For the following transition metal compounds first draw the Lewis structure in 100% ionic form and assign the metal oxidation state, then draw the 100% covalent form with all single bonds. If appropriate, draw additional resonance structures with multiple metal Lewis base covelant bonds. Be sure to include all formal charges in the covalent forms.

b.) For compounds that you identify as having partially ionic single bonds, use Pauling's electroneutrality principle to estimate the % covalency of the metal Lewis base bonds. For compounds that you identify as having resonance structures with multiple covalent bonds, use Pauling's electroneutrality principle to identify resonance form(s) likely to be most stable.

You are encouraged to make educated guesses, provided they are accompanied with reasoned arguments.
