Draw the lewis structures for NH3, NH4+, HC2H3O2, and C2H3O2-. Which of these exhibit resonance?
Added by Timothy G.
Step 1
NH3 (Ammonia): Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons, and each hydrogen atom has 1 valence electron. So, the Lewis structure for NH3 is: N with three single bonds to three H atoms, and one lone pair on N. Show more…

Draw the Lewis structures for the following four molecules, being sure to show all steps following the methods covered in class. Also, one of these molecules has resonance structures - for this compound, make sure to include all resonance structures and indicate formal charges for each atom. • SO2 • OF2 • IF3 • NH4+

Look again at the Lewis structures that you drew in questions 1 through 9 of this homework assignment and determine which of them exhibit resonance. (In other words, which of the following molecules exhibit resonance? Note: there is more than one answer and you must choose all of the molecules in the list that exhibit resonance.) CS2 SO2 O3 PCl3 BCl3 IF5 SO3 NH3
