But I want you to tell me in terms of thinking about formal charge, which Lewis structure would you predict to be the most stable?

但我想让大家告诉我,从形式电荷的角度考虑，你会预测哪一个路易斯结构是最稳定的？

But what I'm going to tell you already is this is a case where, in fact, it's an exception to the idea that the lowest energy structure has the lowest ionization energy in the middle, and we can figure this out when we look at formal charge.

但是我已经告诉大家这个例子，实际上，是中心原子电离能最低的结构,的能量最低这一思路的一个例外，我们可以通过形式电荷看出这一点。

So in our first structure, we would find for the nitrogen we have a formal charge 5 minus 4 minus 2, because we're starting with 5 valence electrons, so that is a formal charge of minus 1.

那么在我们的第一个结构中，我们发现氮的形式电荷量是五减去四4,再减去二，因为我们开始有五个价电子，因此它的形式电荷量是负一。

Often a good thing to start with is to put the lowest ionization energy atom in the middle, and if you don't have charge separation then go with that structure, but if you do find you have a lot of separation, such as the case in negative 2, positive 2, and minus 1, then you want to say wait a second, this is really bad in terms of formal charge, let me go ahead and see what other options I have here.

通常一开始把电离能最低的原子,放在中心位置就很好了，如果你发现电荷没有分开,那么这个结构就没问题了，但是如果你发现有很多分开的电荷，比如这种情况，有负二，正二和负一，那么你会想要说等一下，从形式电荷来看这很不好，让我去看看其它可能的选择。

So what we see is that structure a is the most stable because we have the least separation of charge in the case of structure a.

因此我们看到结构，A，应该是最稳定的,因为这种情况下,分开的电荷最少。
