Simply put, HO=CH2CH2CH3 and HO-CH2CH2CH3. The second structure has a lone pair of electrons on the oxygen atom making the the neighbouring C partialy positive.

1-propanol has a single resonance structure where the hydroxyl group (-OH) is attached to the carbon chain. The oxygen atom forms a bond with the carbon atom using a pair of shared electrons. The other forms of resonance structures typically involve moving the position of the electrons within the molecule.
The condition is called resonance. Resonance occurs when a molecule can be accurately represented by more than one Lewis structure, where the actual structure is a hybrid of the different resonance forms.
Resonance structure.
Yes, CH3NH2 can have a resonance structure. The lone pair on the nitrogen can delocalize to form a double bond with the carbon, resulting in resonance stabilization.
Resonance. Resonance occurs when multiple Lewis structures can be drawn to represent the same molecule or ion, indicating that the actual structure is an average of the different resonance forms.
There can be multiple valid electron dot structures when resonance occurs, all representing the same molecule or ion. The actual structure is a combination, or hybrid, of these resonance structures.
Butadiene has two resonance structures due to the delocalization of electrons between the two double bonds. The first resonance structure has alternating single and double bonds, while the second has a double bond on one end and a single bond on the other. These resonance structures contribute to the stability of the molecule.
The condition is called resonance. Resonance occurs when a molecule can be accurately represented by more than one Lewis structure, where the actual structure is a hybrid of the different resonance forms.
The actual structure
Yes, $\text{RbIO}_2$ has resonance structures due to the presence of multiple bonds between the $\text{Rb}$ and $\text{I}$ atoms. Resonance structures are different forms of a molecule where the arrangement of electrons is changed, but the overall molecular structure remains the same.
No, NH3 is not a resonance structure. Resonance occurs when it is possible to draw multiple valid Lewis structures for a molecule, but for NH3, there is only one correct Lewis structure based on the arrangement of the atoms and the octet rule.
No, the structure of the compound shifts back and forth from one resonance structure to the other rapidly.
Usually two way arrows are placed between a molecule's resonance structures to indicate resonance
An isovalent resonance structure is a resonance structure in which the overall number of atoms and the formal charges remain the same. This means that the connectivity of the atoms does not change, but the arrangement of electrons can be depicted differently. Isovalent resonance structures are important in describing the delocalization of electrons in molecules.
There is only one resonance structure for BeF2 since beryllium (Be) does not form multiple bonds due to its electron configuration (2 valence electrons). Therefore, the Lewis structure of BeF2 shows two single bonds between beryllium and each fluorine atom.
No, H2O does not have a possible resonance structures.
Yes, the Lewis structure for SO2 does have resonance structures. The sulfur atom can form multiple bonding arrangements with the oxygen atoms, leading to resonance where the double bond can be located between sulfur and either of the oxygen atoms.
Yes, you may also say Resonance hybrid form.
