pure covalent bond
T/F: it is okay for resonance structures to have different numbers of electrons from one another
if the formal charges do not balance out to the same overall total
false
T/F: Moving double bonds in electron resonance is not allowed, as that would change the
connectivity of the atoms in the molecule
false
T/F: A double-barbed arrow is used when drawing resonance structures to show that a pair of
electrons is moving.
True
T/F: A resonance curved arrow points to where the electrons being distributed end up
True

why was the theory of atomic orbital hybridization developed?
to attempt to explain the conflict between the electron configuration and lewis dot diagram of an
element that sometimes differ in describing where valence electrons are distributed (into what
atomic orbitals) and which electrons are unpaired (used to make bonds)
