g When a species can be represented by two or more resonance structures, the actual representation of bonding in the species is
given by: A. the resonance structure with no multiple bonds B. the resonance hybrid of all structures C. the best resonance structure D. the resonance structure with no lone pairs on the central atom. E. the resonance structure with the most multiple bonds
The idea of resonance is used to explain bonding in compounds where a single structure does not fully account for all the bonding interactions in a molecule.
A number of equivalent structures are then used to show the nature of bonding in such a molecule. Such structures are called resonance structures or canonical structures. None of these structures individually offer a holistic explanation to the bonding interactions in the molecule under study.
However, a hybrid of all the canonical structures does explain the nature of bonding in the molecule.
When a species can be represented by two or more resonance structures, the actual representation of bonding in the species is given by: <u>the resonance hybrid of all structures</u>
<h3>yes, Radioactive decay involves the emission of a particle and/or energy as one atom changes into another. In most instances, the atom changes its identity to become a new element.</h3>
Thomson concluded that electrons must be parts of the atoms of all elements. Millikan determined the charge and mass of the electron. What experimental evidence led Rutherford to conclude that an atom is mostly empty space? The majority of the alpha particles passed straight through the gold foil.
