(1) Intro
(2) Intro: The meaning of resonance
(3) Intro: legal vs. illegal structures; the purpose of drawing resonance structures is to identify where the charges are
(4) Intro: more significant vs. less significant structures
(5) Intro: "more significant", "less significant", "insignificant"
(6) Intro: Why is it so important to know where the charges are?
(7) Intro: Why is it important to know where the charges are, continued.

(31) Candidates for resonance, continued
(32) Using "candidates for resonance" to detect illegal arrows
(33) Candidates for resonance: elements that can exceed an octet
(34) "Owning", "sharing", and "lacking" electron pairs
(35) Don't draw "lone pair to lone pair" transitions
(36) The "as close as possible" principle
(37) The "as close as possible" principle
(38) The "as close as possible" principle
(39) Don't break sigma bonds!
(40) Don't exceed an octet. But you don't need to worry that "pi bond to lone pair" transitions will exceed an octet.
(41) The most important rule: To avoid exceeding an octet, any new pi bond must be formed either with a carbocation, or with an atom that's also losing a pi bond.
(42) The most important rule, continued
(43) The most important rule, continued
(44) The most important rule, continued
