Interpretation:
The Lewis structure of
Concept introduction:
Lewis structure can be shown by each atom in the molecule using the chemical symbol with the electrons. The bond is formed by sharing of valence electrons between the atoms and excess electron is shown as lone pair.
Answer to Problem 45PP
Explanation of Solution
First the Lewis dot structure of
Lewis structure
Resonance structure is two or more possible of structure of the compound. The structure has similar geometry but have different arrangement of the electrons.
As in case of
More is the resonating structure, less is the energy and more stable is the molecule.
Lewis resonating structure is the different arrangement of electron with similar geometry.
