Part A Drawing Resonance Structures

We have encountered many -1 anions in this course HO, Cl , (CH3)2N, HCO3, etc. [Pg.57]

If you go to the stockroom you will not find a bottle of HO (hydroxide) on the shelf because every anion must exist in close proximity to a counterion, an ion that balances out the charge. [Pg.57]

In this book we will generally assume that positive counterions are inert and that their only function is to balance the negative charge of the anion. [Pg.57]

Also assume that all ions appearing in this book have a counterion, even if one is not specified. [Pg.57]

If ions in a sample did not have counterions, electrical charge would build up, and the sample wouldfind a way to ground itself. For example ion flow across a salt bridge in a battery, or lightning—the result of ion imbalance in a cloud. [Pg.57]
