Question

Is a more stable resonant structure closer to the actual structure when there are two resonant structures?

Answer 1

Resonance strecture - there are some molecules that have pi electrons that can! more around from one aton to another. For example, the following mileule (A and B) are Both different forms of acetate !! CH₂-c-o CH3- (B) B exists strectures of and are called reasonance strectures in reality acetate actually some where in-between A and B , with the charge being shared equally by the two onggens. different resonance strectures in O only electrons move specifically, only pi electrons, long-pair electrons, or negative charges can more Do not move atoms move you can electrons toward or a noto an atoms that does NOT have full octet, such as carbocations.

In an atom elseady Has a full octet than •can move electrons into it ONLY OF you push electrons out the opposite side (electrons in, electrons out) Do not more or break sigma bonds, only 4 pi bonds. Greatest Resonance contributor :- A most stable reasmane strecture will have a fall octet on every ators 2 the stable resmance will have the smallest possible number of charges most ③ the most stable reasonance strecture will have negative charges on the most electro negative atoms and positive charges on the least electro negative atorms.
