Explain the important aspects of resonance with reference to the ion. |
|
Answer» tructure does not explain all the properties of the molecule. As a result, it is possible to draw a number of structures to explain all the FEATURES. These structures are called “RESONATING structures” and resonance which means that a molecule can be EXPRESSED in different forms and none of which can explain all the properties of the molecule. As in case of ion all the bonds are equivalent. Therefore, it is not correct to representation ion through ONE Lewis structure. INSTEAD three resonating structures can be drawn which are as follows: |
