Chemistry in a Nutshell

A quick introduction to resonance structures in chemistry. Resonance is when a molecule or ion can be described by multiple valid Lewis structures and the true structure is an average. This information applies to both general chemistry and organic chemistry.

Resonance structures can also be called resonance forms or resonance contributors.
