Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The concept of resonance structure should be given briefly. Also possibility of isolation of one resonance should be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Sometimes the
All the possible resonance structures are imaginary whereas the resonance hybrid is real. Any of the possible structure does not exist as such like a stable real molecule. So it is not possible to isolate one resonance structure.
While drawing resonance structure of a molecule some rules should be followed where the position, over whole charge and chemical framework remains intact. Also only π and nonbonding electron has been moved in all the three resonance structures.
