When there is more than one possible solutions for a double bond in a molecule

Question 2

What is delocalization?

Answer 2

A characteristic of electrons in multiple bonds

Question 3

What is resonance hybrid

Answer 3

When electrons from the double bond are shared between bonding positions

Question 4

The higher the bond order the what?

Answer 4

The greater the electron density and stronger and shorter the bond will be
