Question
Chapter MS, Problem 29PQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The correct statement for resonance structures has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
When one single structure is unable to describe all properties of molecule, phenomenon called resonance comes into play. This arises when two or more Lewis structures are possible for one molecule. All such structures are called resonating structures and have the same placement of atoms in them but these have different locations of bond pairs and lone pairs. The resonating structures are interconvertible with each other. The resultant of all resonating or contributing structures is called resonance hybrid. Molecules that possess resonance are more stable than other molecules.
