Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The Lewis structures for the resonance structures of toluene have to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Lewis structure otherwise known as Lewis dot diagrams or electron dot structures.
The bond between atoms and lone pairs of electrons that is present in the molecule. Lewis structure represents each atom and their position in structure using the chemical symbol. Excess electrons forms the lone pair are given by pair of dots, and are located next to the atom.
Resonance structure is two forms of a molecule where the chemical connectivity is the same but the electrons are distributed differently around the structure. Generally put double headed arrows between two resonance structures.
