I believe there are 3 stuctures. The molecule can only resonate through 3 of its Oxygens while the last one holds the hydrogen.
So you have S in the middle 4 Oxygens around it.
1. Oxygen 1 has the hydrogen and has a single bond to the S. Oxygen 2 has a double bond to the S, Oxygen 3 has a single bond to the S (and a negative charge), and Oxygen 4 has a double bond to the S.
2. Same as before but this time Oxygen 3 has the double bond and Oxygen 2 has the single bond and the extra lone pair (negative charge)
3. Same thing except Oxygen 4 now has the single bond and negative charge and Oxygen 2 has the a double bond.
The Oxygen with the hydrogen attached should always be single bonded as well as one other Oxygen. The other 2 oxygens are double bonded.
I hope that makes sense, it's hard to explain when you can't draw it.
What else can I help you with?
What are the resonance structures for the molecule of N2O3?
isomer
When two or more equivalent dot structures can be written for a given molecule it is said to have?
resonance. Resonance occurs when multiple Lewis structures can be drawn for a molecule by repositioning electrons while keeping the same atomic framework.
How many resonance structures does NO3- have?
there are three resonating structures of H2CO3 OH+-------C------O+-------oh+
How does the electron dot resonance structures for ozone explain how they describe its bonding?
The electron dot resonance structures for ozone show that the double bond in ozone can delocalize across different positions, leading to resonance hybrid structures. This delocalization results in a more stable molecule overall. The resonance structures help describe ozone's bonding as a combination of single and double bonds that are not fixed in one position but rather spread out over the molecule.
The two Lewis structure for ozone satisfy the octet rule and are resonance structures?
In the Lewis structures of ozone, each oxygen atom has a full octet of electrons, satisfying the octet rule. Additionally, ozone exhibits resonance because the double bond can be located on different oxygen atoms, resulting in two equivalent resonance structures.
Does n2 have resonance structures?
NO
What is placed between a molecule's resonance structures to indicate resonance?
Usually two way arrows are placed between a molecule's resonance structures to indicate resonance
What is the difference between equivalent and nonequivalent resonance structures?
Equivalent resonance structures have the same arrangement of atoms and electrons, while nonequivalent resonance structures have different arrangements of atoms and electrons.
How many resonance structures does the nitrate ion NO2 -1 have?
The nitrate ion, NO3^-, has 3 resonance structures.
What is placed Between a molecule resonance structures to indicate resonance?
Usually two way arrows are placed between a molecule's resonance structures to indicate resonance
Does H2O have a resonance structure?
Yes, water (H2O) does have resonance structures. However, the resonance structures of water are not commonly depicted because the resonance phenomenon is not as significant in its molecular structure as it is in other compounds like benzene.
What is the term for the intermediate properties of all resonance structures?
The term is called the "resonance hybrid." It represents the actual electronic structure of a molecule that is a blend of all the possible resonance structures.
How many resonance structures does nitric acid have?
Nitric acid (HNO3) has 3 resonance structures. The delocalization of electrons between the nitrogen and oxygen atoms allows for the formation of different resonance structures.
Are there any resonance structures in HCN?
Yes, there are resonance structures in HCN. The triple bond in the molecule can resonate between the carbon and nitrogen atoms, leading to electron delocalization and the formation of multiple resonance structures.
What is placed between a molecule's resonance structure to indicate resonance?
Usually two way arrows are placed between a molecule's resonance structures to indicate resonance
How many resonance structures are needed to describe the structure of HNO3?
To describe the structure of HNO3, two resonance structures are needed.
Does hf have resonance structures?
yes
