A. The Two Commandments: What Not To Do! When drawing arrows between resonance structures, DON'T break the Two Commandments (section 2.3 Klein): 1. Thou shalt not break a single bond when drawing resonance structures. 2. Thou shalt not exceed an octet for second-row elements. That doesn't mean you can't have less than an octet, which leads to the King Corollaries: 14 Corollary 1: It is okay to have carbon without an octet in a resonance structure, but never draw O, N, or the halogens without an octet. Corollary 2: Never draw a resonance structure with a 2+ or a 2- charge
