Bonding descriptions for N2O. Top: The major contributing resonance structures and interatomic distances. Bottom: The degenerate pairs of N2O frontier orbitals computed at the mPW1PW level of theory with the MIDI! basis set, visualized at a contour level of 0.02 a.u. (Computations performed and orbitals drawn by C. J. Cramer).
