Hence, the oxygen atom at the centre donates its electrons to the positively charged oxygen atom. Lewis Dot Structure for O 3.Īccording to the given structure, (structure 1) one oxygen atom is positively charged and the other one is negatively charged. We know that oxygen is a bivalent atom and forms bonds with two other oxygen atoms in the ozone molecule. Now, let us have a look at the O 3 molecule or OZONE which is a V-shaped structure. The number of lone pairs of electrons must remain the same as the at of the original structure. All the canonical structures of the required molecule must have an equal number of electrons. Resonance structures should not have a different number of electrons. It can also be defined as the difference between the expected enthalpy and calculated enthalpy.Īs less energy is required to convert a conjugated benzene structure to a stable benzene ring, Benzene has a lower heat of formation. The amount of energy required to convert the conjugated structure or delocalized structure into a stable structure is called a resonance energy. Resonance allows the electrons to relocate from their original positions by lowering their energy to achieve a more stable canonical structure. The canonical structure or resonance structure is a method of embodying the delocalized electrons within the molecule. The above-mentioned structure is the canonical structure of Benzene. This alternate arrangement of double and single bonds in a molecule is termed conjugation. The benzene molecule is different from Cyclohexane as the carbon atoms in the benzene ring are attached by alternate single and double bonds. Let’s Take an Example of a Benzene molecule:.
