When a molecule can best be represented as a series of resonance forms, each of these forms always contributes to the same degree in the hybrid.

Resonance Forms

Different Lewis structures for a molecule that depict the same arrangement of atoms but differ in the distribution of electrons.

Hybrid

A concept that combines two different elements or types to create something with mixed characteristics, often seen in technology, biology, and vehicles.

  • Understand and describe the critical nature of resonance in ensuring the stability of molecules.
