Benzene is commonly regarded as a resonance hybrid ofthe two Kekule structures. but other possible structures canalso contribute. Draw three other structures in which thereare only covalent n bonds (al lowing for bonding betweensome non-adjacent C atoms) and two structures in whichthere is one ionic bond. Why may these structures be ignoredin simple descriptions of the molecule?

Benzene is commonly regarded as a resonance hybrid of the two Kekule structures, but other possible structures can also contribute. Draw three other structures in which there are only covalent π bonds (allowing for bonding between some non-adjacent C atoms) and two st ructu res in which there is one ionic bond. Why may these structures be ignored in simple descriptions of the molecule?
I waasnt sure about the sigma and pi bonds sentence. Would they not be broken because they are present in all bonds, no matter the type of IMF?
The sulfate ion can be represented with four S-O bonds or with two S-O and two So=O bonds.(a) Which representation is better from the standpoint of formal charges?(b) What is the shape of the sulfate ion, and what hybrid orbitals of S are postulated for the σ bonding?(c) In view of the answer to part (b), what orbitals of S must be used for the π bonds? What orbitals of O?(d) Draw a diagram to show how one atomic orbital from S and one from O overlap to form a π bond.
