Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The second resonance structure of the following ion should be drawn:
Concept Introduction:
When more than one Lewis structure can be drawn for a molecule or ion, then it is said to have resonance.
It is generally the delocalization of electrons (bonds) over three or more atoms in a molecule for which one simple Lewis structure cannot depicts its correct structure.
