Expert Solution
Step 1

Resonance structures are a way to represent the delocalization of electrons in a molecule or ion. They are different possible Lewis structures that can be drawn for a molecule, with the same arrangement of atoms but different arrangements of electrons. Resonance structures are indicated by drawing double-headed arrows between them. The actual structure of the molecule is a hybrid of these resonance structures, with the electrons delocalized over the entire molecule. Resonance is an important concept in chemistry, particularly in organic chemistry, because it can affect the reactivity and stability of molecules.
