Question
Chapter 2, Problem 13EQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The resonance structure of the given molecule is to be determined
Concept Introduction:
When the electron distribution of a molecule can be depicted correctly in more than one way using different Lewis structures, the drawings are called resonance structures.
Resonance structures have no discrete existence of their own but, taken in combination, describe the true structure of the molecule.

Electronegativity differences below 1.7 are covalent bonds, and electronegativity differences 0.4 and below are non-polar covalent bonds and between 0.4 to 1.6 are considered by most to be polar covalent bonds.” Do you agree with this student?
