Question

Resonance Structures Resonance Structures are ways to represent the bonding in a molecule or ion when a single Lewis structure fails to describe accurately the actual electronic structure. Equivalent resonance structures occur when there are identical patterns of bonding within the molecule or ion. The actual structure is a composite, or resonance hybrid, of the equivalent contributing structures. Draw Lewis structures for SeF20 and sulfur trioxide. How many equivalent Lewis structures are necessary to describe the bonding in SeF20 ? How many equivalent Lewis structures are necessary to describe the bonding in so3?
