The concepts of resonance 1. Resonance is not something that is happening to a molecule. It is a way to describe the electronic distribution of a molecule. 2. Individual resonance isomers are imaginary, not real. a. They are representations of a hybrid structure b. The resonance hybrid is more stable than any individual resonance isomer contributing to it 3. Resonance isomers must be valid Lewis structures. 4. Resonance isomers differ only by the relative placement of their pi and nonbonding electrons in p orbitals. 5. Resonance isomers must have identical constitutions. Therefore, the hybridization states of the constituent atoms cannot change. 6. Resonance isomers must have the same number valence electrons and the same number of paired and unpaired electrons. 7. Different resonance isomers don’t have to be equivalent. Resonance isomers that describe the electronic configuration of a molecule most realistically have a. all octets full b. minimal formal charge c. minimal formal charge separation d. formal charge assignment according to relative electronegativities
