The formal charge of an atom in a molecule is the charge that would reside on the atom if all of the bonding electrons were shared equally.

A Lewis diagram shows how the valence electrons are distributed around the atoms in a molecule. Shared pairs of electrons are drawn as lines between atoms, while lone pairs of …

This unit examines how atomic structure relates to the macroscopic properties of substances. Learn about chemical bonding, Lewis diagrams, resonance and formal charge, VSEPR, and …

Chemical formulas only tell us how many atoms of each element are present in a molecule, but structural formulas also give information about how the atoms are connected in space.

Drawing Lewis diagrams Predicting bond type (metals vs. nonmetals) Worked example: Lewis diagram of formaldehyde (CH₂O) Worked example: Lewis diagram of the cyanide ion (CN⁻) …

The whole point of resonance structures is to draw all the possible Lewis structures which can represent the same molecule. Sometimes this can be done with only two resonance …
