I have another question, or possibly an answer, to problem 1.22d.
Instead of just one of the oxygens on the end having a double bond, would
it not be possible to have both oxygens double bonded to the nitrogen?
This then would take the positive charge away from the nitrogen and the
negative charge away from the oxygen by using up two of the oxygen's free
electrons.
