Resonance Structure of Oxygen O2
« on: October 01, 2012, 01:13:49 AM »
Hey guys,

I just have a quick question about the resonance structure of oxygen, is it drawn like this?

Or would the electrons have to be the same spin on both sides of the O's?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think the spin really matters.
Entropy happens.
