Does benzyl alcohol have isolated double bonds?
Benzyl alcohol is C6H5CH2OH. Structurally it consists of a benzene molecule with one hydrogen replaced by -CH2OH. this group is what makes the compound behave as an alcohol. The benzene ring has 3 double bonds and these are delocalised around the ring.
Why doesn't CSCl2 have resonance?
The compound in question is indeed CSCl2, known as thiophosgene. Cesium Chloride is CsCl, As to the question, resonance occurs when a molecule has two or more possible bond configurations about the same atom, such as with the alternating single and double bonds often depicted in benzene. Although, the resonance hybrid will remain as the most accurate depiction. In the case of CSCl2 the central carbon atom is double bonded to a sulfur atom and single bonded to two chlorine atoms. There is no other stable configuration. The sulfur atom is not stable with just one single bond and the chlorine atoms, which already have their octets satisfied, will not accept a double bond from the carbon.
Shape of DNA molecule?
The shape of a DNA Molecule is a Double Helix
Why cyclohexanol is neutral?
Compared to phenol, cyclohexanol does not have double bonds. Therefore it is not a resonance stabilised anion and is neutral
What is the shape of the DNA molecule known as?
Double Helix :D
Does BeCl2 have any resonance structures?
No. First of all, the bond is technically ionic, although at high temperatures, it may behave as a single covalent bond. Still, even if the bond is covalent in character, there will not be any resonance because you need a compound that contains both single and double covalent bonds to exhibit resonance.
Chemists once believed that a molecule contains a single bond and a double bond split its time existing as one of these two structures this effect became known as?
Resonance.
What is the resonance structure for C2H2F2?
It's not resonant, because there are no resonant bonds. There are 24 electrons total, and 10 of them are used to connect all of the atoms. There is a double bond between the two carbons, and each of the Flourines have 6 electrons. :)
What are the resonance structures for bromate ion?
There are two resonance structures for bromate - two of the oxygens are double bonded to bromine, and one is single bonded. The double bonded bromines share the electrons between all three, creating two equivalent resonance structures.
What do The double lines in a molecule represent?
It you are looking at a diagram of the molecule, the double line represents a double bond.
Difference between resonance and mesomeric effect?
Mesomeric forms are the possible locations of electrons at a single instant, if you get what I mean. Like, an adjacent double and single bond in a molecule. The resonance form, however, is a more accurate picture, where the electrons are represented as being present in both the double and the single bond at once. They resonate between the bonds, bouncing back and forth. This is shown by drawing the bonds as a dashed line. If you're looking for a couple of diagrams showing resonance forms, you might try looking up the structures of nitrogen oxides such as N2O, NO2, N2O5 and NO. They each display resonance somewhere in their bonding... Hope this hepls
How do you know the molecule below is unsaturated fat?
The molecule contains carbon double bonds

In chemistry what is resonance?
Resonance occurs when there is more than one possible structural bonding for a compound or polyatomic ion. For example, the structure for ozone (O3) requires one double bond and one single bond between the three oxygen atoms. Because the valence electrons are equally attracted to both oxygens to form the double bond with the molecule resonates, or continuously switches back and forth, between the two possible structures.
How many double bonds in a carbon molecule?
There are two double bonds in a carbon dioxide molecule.

Resonance structures - formic acid formic acid can be deprotonated in alkali environments...how do you draw this structure and its resonance structures?
The formic acid structure is expected to be the most stable, with the resonance structure playing only a small role. In the formate anion, the two resonance structures are equally likely. The steric number is three, the molecule probably trigonal planar about the C. The C-O bonds in the acid are different, with one being a double bond and the other a single bond. Those in the formate ion are basically 1.5 bonds, and we expect the C-O bond in the formate ion to be ≈ 1.3 Å, intermediate between a single and a double bond. 37.
