Drawing Lewis Structures
If the question asks you to draw the Lewis structure of a molecule that has resonance, do you just draw one of the structures or do we need to draw all of them?

Re: Drawing Lewis Structures
Unless the question asks you specifically to draw all the resonance structures, I think that one is okay.

Re: Drawing Lewis Structures
I think you should draw the possible resonance structures and put the double sided arrow in between them.

Re: Drawing Lewis Structures
Yeah I think you would need to draw the resonance hybrid, where you draw the two resonance structures connected with a double headed arrow.

Draw the all the resonance structures with a double-headed arrow in between.
