Term
| What are the three main rules for resonance structures? |
|
Definition
Atoms are fixed and cannot move. (only the distribution of the electrons in the molecule changes from one resonance structure to the next. Only lone-pair electrons and pi electrons (which are only found in 2x and 3x bonds) can move. You can't break the octet rule.( the sum of an atoms lone-pairs and bonds cannot be greater than four).

| The three most important features that stabalize negative charges are ____,_____and_____? |
|
Definition
| electronegativity, hybridization and size of the atom upon which the negative charge is located. |
|

Term
| Which is more acidic HF or HI? Why? |
|
Definition
| HI, because even though Flourine is more electronegative, Iodine is a much larger atom, and as a rule size trumps electronegativity. |
