Resonance Contributors

Different Lewis structures that represent the same molecule and differ only in the distribution of electrons, not the arrangement of atoms.

Bonding Patterns

The arrangement and connectivity of atoms within a molecule, influencing its geometry and physical properties.

Organic Compound

A compound containing carbon atoms covalently bonded to other elements, typically hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, among others.
