Study Notes

Resonance Structures

  • Resonance structures depict multiple possible arrangements of electrons within a molecule or ion. These arrangements rapidly interconvert.
  • Resonance structures are representations of the same molecule or ion with different electron distributions.
  • The actual electronic structure of a molecule or ion is a hybrid, or a combination, of all its possible resonance structures.
  • Electrons do not physically move between different resonance structures; they are just represented differently.
  • The contribution of each resonance structure to the true structure depends on factors like resonance energy and the stability of the structures.
