Choose all that apply.a) arrangement of electronsb) formal charge on each atomc) net charge on the molecule or iond) arrangment of atomse) none of these are common between resonance formsf) atoms presentg) number of electrons
FREE Expert Solution
First, let's start which varies. Things that will vary include the distribution of electrons between atoms, lone pairs, and bonds, the number of single vs double or triple bonds, and the formal charges on atoms in the structure.
