Part C: Lewis Structures...Reloaded 5. For the "mainly" ionic compound, a. Provide another Lewis structure for the compound that is a resonance structure for that molecule. Explain why this fits the description of a resonance structure and explain any ifferences between the two structures (bond lengths and angles) that should be evident if these were truly completely different structures. b. In a resonance structure, the location of the electrons that form multiple bonds vary. This is called "delocalization" of electrons. Given this, a resonance structure can be drawn using dotted lines to show this delocalization, and the result can be called a resonance hybrid. Draw the resonance hybrid for your "mostly ionic" compound. This should only be one structure (see Resonance - Chemistry LibreTexts or Formal Charge and Lewis Structure-Boundless Chemistry) (Also see Text 4.5) c. Given this hybrid representation, and the types of bonds (single, double, triple) that make up the hybrid, predict the bond order (single bond bond order of 1, double bond = 2, triple bond 3) for each bond involved in the hybrid model. Only predict the bond order for the bonds involved with the delocalized electrons.
