Presentation on theme: "Resonance Structures Sometimes there is more than one correct answer…"— Presentation transcript:

1 Resonance Structures Sometimes there is more than one correct answer…

2 Drawing Lewis Dot Structures First: Build it with the puzzle pieces Second: Draw the FINAL answer on your paper S3S3

3 Resonance When there are more than one valid structure for a molecule we call these Resonance Structures In reality, the molecule is usually flip flopping back and forth between its resonance structures We show this by drawing both structures and then a double headed arrow between them

4 Drawing Lewis Dot Structures Third: Draw the resonance structures of the molecule S3S3 SSS SSS

5 Draw the Lewis Dot Structure for… phosphite ion *hint* - you have to add or remove electrons

6 Draw the Lewis Dot Structure for… nitrite ion

7 ISOMERS Draw the Lewis Dot Structure for… S2OS2O Since we can move the order of the elements, we call these isomers.
