Why Might a Program Incorrectly Represent Resonance Structures?

AI Thread Summary
The user is experiencing issues with a program incorrectly representing resonance structures, specifically regarding charge discrepancies. They note that the program typically confirms answers when the same problem is reposted, but in this case, it indicates a mismatch in total charge. Despite attempts to adjust the structure by moving a radical, the user is unable to resolve the issue. Ultimately, they mention that they have solved the problem independently and no longer require assistance. The discussion highlights potential software limitations in accurately representing resonance structures.

[SOLVED] Resonance Structure #3

Homework Statement



Can't seem to figure this one out either...I think the program may have the charges messed up...usually if i post the same exact problem as the answer, it tells me that the answer is the same as the original problem...but with this problem..if I do that it says "The total charge on your resonance structure must equal the total charge on the given structure." The charges are the same...so anyone have any ideas?

I solved this as well btw, so no need in anyone helping now. Thanks though :)

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
