Draw a diagram that shows both the covalent and ionic nature of the compound sodium azide, formula \(\mathrm{NaN}_{3}\) (the \(\mathrm{N}_{3}\) portion is linear in shape). If there are resonance forms, then include them.

To represent the covalent and ionic nature of sodium azide (NaN3), first draw a positively charged sodium (Na) ion and a linear azide ion (N3-) with a formal charge of -1 on one of the terminal nitrogen atoms. Indicate the ionic bond between Na+ and N3- with an arrow, and draw a single bond and a triple bond between the nitrogen atoms within the azide ion. Show two resonance structures representing an electron pair being shared between terminal nitrogens and a double bond with the central nitrogen, and use a double-headed arrow to indicate that the true structure is a blend of these forms. Finally, present the hybrid structure of sodium azide, illustrating both the ionic interaction and the resonance structures for the azide ion.
