In cases where more than one equivalent Lewis structure can be constructed, ______ must be included

Resonance

2
New cards

Resonance acts as a:

Refinement to the Lewis structure

3
New cards

Resonance is needed to provide:

Qualitatively accurate predictions of molecular structure and properties

4
New cards

What can be used as criteria for determining which of several possible valid Lewis diagrams provides the best model for predicting molecular structure and properties?

Octet rule and formal charge

5
