Recall the bond lengths of single and double bonds.
What is the purpose of resonance structures?
Think about how some molecules can't be depicted with just one structure.
True or False: Resonance structures have real existence.
Consider the role of resonance in bonding.
Consider a hypothetical molecule that exhibits resonance. Summarize how you would represent this molecule using resonance structures. What does this representation indicate about its stability?
