Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The name for the multiple Lewis structures given in the diagram needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Resonance is a condition that arises when a molecule or ion may write to more than one valid Lewis structure. The two or more right Lewis structures reflect a single molecule, or ions, is called the molecule or ion 's resonance structures.
Answer to Problem 9STP
The name of the multiple Lewis structures is
Explanation of Solution
The structure given in the diagram shows the delocalization of electrons of
Resonance structures vary only in the position of the pairs of electrons, never the position of the atoms.
