Explain resonance and formal charge in Lewis models

Paper 1, Paper 2 5 marks Difficulty 5

Bond order from resonance forms

A resonance model in a materials-analysis workshop spreads one extra pi bond equally over 2 equivalent bonds. State the extra pi-bond contribution to each bond. Use the labelled diagram or spectrum before giving the answer. Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that matches the HL chemistry evidence.
