Question: Which of the following statements about resonance structures is true?

Options:

  1. They represent different molecules
  2. They have the same energy
  3. They differ only in the arrangement of electrons
  4. They cannot be used to describe real molecules

Correct Answer: They differ only in the arrangement of electrons

Solution: 

Resonance structures differ only in the arrangement of electrons, while the positions of the nuclei remain the same, contributing to the overall hybrid structure.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements about resonance structures is true?
  • Step 1: Understand what resonance structures are. They are different ways to draw the same molecule.
  • Step 2: Know that in resonance structures, only the electrons are rearranged. The atoms (nuclei) stay in the same place.
  • Step 3: Realize that these different drawings help show how the molecule behaves in reality, which is a mix of all the resonance structures.
  • Step 4: Remember that the true structure of the molecule is a hybrid of all the resonance forms.
