Solution Steps

Step 1: Analyze the Lewis Structure for \([: \mathrm{O} \equiv \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}]^{+}\)
  1. Count the Valence Electrons:

    • Oxygen (O) has 6 valence electrons.
    • Carbon (C) has 4 valence electrons.
    • Hydrogen (H) has 1 valence electron.
    • The positive charge indicates a loss of 1 electron.
    • Total valence electrons = \(6 + 4 + 1 - 1 = 10\).
  2. Evaluate the Structure:

    • The structure \([: \mathrm{O} \equiv \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}]^{+}\) has 10 electrons, which matches the calculated total.
    • Check the octet rule:
      • Oxygen has 8 electrons (satisfied).
      • Carbon has 8 electrons (satisfied).
      • Hydrogen has 2 electrons (satisfied).
  3. Conclusion:

    • The proposed Lewis structure is reasonable.
Step 2: Analyze the Lewis Structure for \(\left[\begin{array}{ll}* \& * \\ \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{N}= \& \mathrm{N} \\ \cdots \& *\end{array}\right]^{-}\)
  1. Count the Valence Electrons:

    • Each Nitrogen (N) has 5 valence electrons.
    • The negative charge indicates an addition of 1 electron.
    • Total valence electrons = \(3 \times 5 + 1 = 16\).
  2. Evaluate the Structure:

    • The structure should have 16 electrons.
    • Check the octet rule:
      • Each nitrogen should have 8 electrons.
  3. Conclusion:

    • Without the specific arrangement of electrons, it's difficult to determine if the octet rule is satisfied. However, the total number of valence electrons is correct.
Step 3: Analyze the Third Lewis Structure
  1. Count the Valence Electrons:

    • The structure is not provided, so we cannot count the valence electrons or evaluate the structure.
  2. Conclusion:

    • Unable to analyze due to missing information.

Final Answer

  • For \([: \mathrm{O} \equiv \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}]^{+}\): Yes, the proposed Lewis structure is reasonable.
  • For \(\left[\begin{array}{ll}* \& * \\ \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{N}= \& \mathrm{N} \\ \cdots \& *\end{array}\right]^{-}\): The correct number of valence electrons is \(\boxed{16}\).
  • The third structure cannot be analyzed due to missing information.
