Resonance and Naming

[405289292]

Does resonance have the potential to affect the way we name chemical compounds?

[Sahil Jog 1F]

Resonance should not affect the way we name chemical compounds in this course.

[Astrid Lunde 1I]

No, it is the same compound.

[Mallika Chimpiri 3K]

No, resonance just refers to variations in writing the structures.

[Jasmine Vallarta 2L]

no

[Hussain Chharawalla 1G]

Remember that resonance gives partial double bond characteristics to all surrounding atoms. No, it will not affect the naming.

[Aarushi Solanki 4F]

No, because it is the same compound and resonance isn't reality. Reality is the intermediate of all the resonance structures.

[stephaniekim2K]

No, because it is the same structure it has the same name.

[jmtz1I]

No, it shouldn't.

[pJimenez3F]

no its doesn't at least for this course

[ashwathinair]

Resonance should not affect how we name a compound. However, having different versions of the compound's composition (such as through cisplatin and transplatin) can affect naming of a compound.

[AnayaArnold_3L]

Should we be using the electronic or molecular geometry name?
