These hypothetical formal charges are a guide to determining the most appropriate Lewis structure. A structure in which the formal charges are as close to zero as possible is preferred. Resonance occurs in cases where two or more Lewis structures with identical arrangements of atoms but different distributions of electrons can be written.

Resonance structure are capable of describing delocalized electrons that cannot be expressed by a single Lewis formula with an integer number of covalent bonds.

(You might want to review Section 2.5 to Section 2.7 to brush up on resonance.) As noted in Section 2.6, the greater the number of resonance forms, the greater the stability of a compound, because bonding electrons are attracted to more nuclei.

For transition metals in which the metal can assume a variety of oxidation states (different positive charges), the charge of the metal ion is shown in the name using Roman numerals, in parenthesis, following the name of the element (i.e., iron (III) chloride).

Experimental evidence indicates that the three bonds in a carbon radical have trigonal planar geometry, and therefore the carbon is considered to be sp 2 -hybridized with the unpaired electron occupying the perpendicular, unhybridized 2p z orbital.
