I believe there are 3 stuctures. The molecule can only resonate through 3 of its Oxygens while the last one holds the hydrogen. So you have S in the middle 4 Oxygens around it. ・ 1. Oxygen 1 has the hydrogen and has a single bond to the S. ...

Hi Pavan, Resonance structures are imaginary, so it is more of a guage of its stability rather than an actual measure. You can kind of think about resonance structures like legs on a stool - the more legs, the more stable. But don't start t...

When you've got a molecule (or ion) that has some double bonds and some lone pairs on the atoms. Resonance is about different ways to arrange the electrons in pi bonds and non-bonding electrons. You don't get to change the order of connecti...

Hello, I have posted several threads on this topic; first search the chemistry forum and you'll find some diagrams as well. Review these, and let's talk later. Also make a google search on molecular orbital diagrams.

You're correct that the best Lewis structure is with two single Cl-O bonds and two Cl=O. So how many different combinations are there of four things (bonds) taken two at a time (double bonds)? The double bonds could be between the Cl and...

Resonance structures are just variations of the Lewis dot diagrams drawn to determine how the molecule would look in a geometric perspective. When a molecule is known to have a resonance structure, it usually means that there is more than o...
