Concept explainers

Formal Charges
Formal charges have an important role in organic chemistry since this concept helps us to know whether an atom in a molecule is neutral/bears a positive or negative charge. Even if some molecules are neutral, the atoms within that molecule need not be ne…
Polarity Of Water
In simple chemical terms, polarity refers to the separation of charges in a chemical species leading into formation of two polar ends which are positively charged end and negatively charged end. Polarity in any molecule occurs due to the differences in t…
Valence Bond Theory Vbt
Valence bond theory (VBT) in simple terms explains how individual atomic orbitals with an unpaired electron each, come close to each other and overlap to form a molecular orbital giving a covalent bond. It gives a quantum mechanical approach to the forma…

Chapter 8, Problem 52QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The rules for drawing resonating structures are to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Resonance is a hypothetical phenomenon, which is used to explain the actual behavior of some molecules. The properties of compounds, which involve conjugation of pi electrons and lone pairs in their structure cannot be explained on the basis of one structure. Therefore, to explain the exact behavior of molecules, the phenomenon of resonance is used.

Two or more Lewis structures of a compound that are required to explain all the properties of the compound are known as resonating structures.

Resonating structure are represented by double headed arrow.

Resonance structure differs only in the position of their electrons, not in the positions of their atoms.

Resonance structures are hypothetical and cannot be isolated.
