O3 Resonance Structures (Ozone)

Показать описание
There are two resonance structures for O3 (ozone).

- Resonance structures are necessary to show how electrons are distributed in chemical bonds in a molecule.

- Remember, the molecule isn't flipping back and forth between structures! It's an average of the resonance structures.

- The double arrow symbol drawn between resonance structures does not mean equilibrium or any sort of change. It only shows that there is more than one way to draw the structure. It's not a very good choice of symbols, really.

I deliberately watch these at .75 x its calm and cooool!!!!

I draw it like at 1:04 but I call them double bonds is that still correct

Why can't it be ::O=O=O:: ? (the :: are two lone pairs)

Do you think the single covalent bond in O3 is a dative/ coordinate covalent bond?

What would be and resonance structure of [CO3]2- including averages?

Maximum bond oxygen can have is 2 but here O has 3 bonds, how?
