Question 1

What is a resonance hybrid?

  • A single structure
  • An average of multiple structures
  • A temporary state

💡 Hint: Think about what averages do in mathematics.

Question 2

True or False: Resonance structures can differ by the positions of the atoms.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how the definition of resonance limits atom movement.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Draw and compare the resonance structures of acetate ion (CH3COO–) and nitromethane (CH3NO2). Discuss their stabilities.

💡 Hint: Draw all reasonable structures and evaluate their stability based on previous rules of resonance.

Question 2

For the compound benzene, analyze the implications of resonance on its reactivity in electrophilic substitutions.

💡 Hint: Think about how stable the starting and transition states are during reactions.
