Explain the important aspects of resonance with reference to the CO subscript 3 superscript 2 minus end superscript space ion. space


In some molecules, single Lewis structure fails to explain all the characteristics of the molecules. As a result, a number of structure can be drawn to explain all the characteristics. Thus, such structure is called resonating structure.

In  all C-O bonds are equivalent. This is possible only the different canonical structure of  undergoing resonance to give resonance hybrid.
