Question

explain the important aspects of resonance with reference to the co2​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:In some molecules single Lewis structure fails to explain all the characteristics of the molecule. As a result a number of structures can be drawn to explain all the characteristic .Such structures are called resonating structures & resonance is defined as the phenomenon as a result of which a molecule can be expressed in different forms none of which can explain all the properties of the molecule. As in case of  ion all the C---- O bonds are equivalent. Therefore it is not correct to represent  ion through one Lewis strucuture
