Term
the 4 rules of assessing the relative importance of resonance structures |
|
Definition
1: OCTET; the most important resonance structures have the greatest number of filled octets and covalent bonds 2: FORMAL CHARGES; the structure with fewer formal charges is more important 3: NEGATIVE CHARGE ON ELECTRONEGATIVE ELEMENT; other things being equal, a structure with a more negative charge on a more electronegative element will be more important 4: LEWIS STRUCTURES; resonance structures that have equally good Lewis structures are described as equivalent and contribute equally to the resonance hybrid |
