Rule for Drawing Resonance Contributors • Only electrons move. Atoms never move. • Only p-electrons and lone-pair electrons can move; • s-electrons never move. • 3. The total number of electrons in the molecule does not change. Predicted Stabilities of Resonance Contributors • 1. The greater the predicted stability of the resonance contributor, • the more it contributes to the structure of the resonance hybrid. • 2. Resonance contributors with separated charges are relatively unstable, • because energy is required to keep opposite charges separated.
