Resonance Structures are used to represent the different possible bonding arrangements of a molecule.

Examining Resonance Structures

Concept #1: Resonance Structures

Example #1: Determine the remaining resonance structures possible for the carbonate ion, CO32–

Practice: Determine the remaining resonance structures possible for the phosphate ion, PO43–.
