This question is in regards to resonant structures.
00:05
Resonant structures can be classified as two types, equivalent and non -equivalent resonant structures.
00:11
In order to determine whether or not resonant structures contribute equally, we need to be able to distinguish between these two.
00:20
Equivalent resonant structures are resonant structures, which have their double, single, and triple bonds, all between the same types of atoms.
00:31
Of the same elements, while non -equivalent would then have different types of bonds between different types of atoms.
00:40
So let's first look at an example of equivalent resonant structures, where these equivalent resonant structures would contribute equally to the overall structure of the molecule.

Nitrate is an example...
