Feb 27, 2017 · My teacher told me about resonance and explained it as different structures which are flipping back and forth and that we only observe a sort of average structure.

Jul 17, 2015 · I was having trouble drawing the Lewis structure for $\\ce{NCO^-}$. I found this image online: But why is structure number one preferred over structure number two? Why …

The image above depicts three mesomeric structures of diazomethane ($\ce {CH2N2}$). When you count the valence electrons for every atom, you will find that only the left and middle …

Dec 29, 2022 · Propene is an alkene with a double bond between 2 carbon atoms. $\\ce{C3H6}$ may have 2 resonance structures due to 2 possible placings of the double bond. E.g. it can be …

Jan 8, 2023 · In question 5, it asks: The skeletal structures of two amino acids, leucine and arginine, are drawn below. Non-zero formal charges are indicated. Provide the Lewis structure …

Sep 27, 2019 · As another example, the thiocyanate ion, an ion formed from a carbon atom, a nitrogen atom, and a sulfur atom, could have three different molecular structures: CNS–, …

May 1, 2015 · In the resonance structures that you have drawn, both the nitrogen and oxygen on the ends are stable (having no charge) but nitrogen in the middle has five bonds hence …

The structure you've drawn on the left does have a resonance structure, but not the one you've drawn on the right. Drawing resonance structures out by hand gets quicker over time. You find …

Feb 12, 2024 · I initially made the resonating structures by first converting toluene into a toluene carbocation. But the resonating structures of a neutral molecule should be neutral. So what …

May 7, 2020 · It's just like resonance structures of nitrate ion, in which central nitrogen contains a full positive charge in all three resonance structures and two of three oxygen atoms contain full …
