Q
Which of the following statements correctly describe the rules which must be observed when drawing resonance structures?
A
The placement of atoms and sigma bonds always remains the same.
Resonance forms must obey the normal rules of bonding.
Resonance forms may differ in the number of multiple bonds present.

Q
Which of the following statements correctly describe sp3 hybrid orbitals?
A
The hybridization of one s and three p orbitals forms four sp3 hybrid orbitals.
The four sp3 hybrid orbitals are intermediate in energy between the s and p orbitals from which they were formed.
An sp3 hybrid orbital has one small and one large lobe.
