Bromine dioxide is the chemical compound composed of bromine and oxygen with the formula BrO 2.It forms unstable yellow [2] to yellow-orange [1] crystals. It was first isolated by R. Schwarz and M. Schmeißer in 1937 and is hypothesized to be important in the atmospheric reaction of bromine with ozone. [3]
Contributing structures of the carbonate ion. In chemistry, resonance, also called mesomerism, is a way of describing bonding in certain molecules or polyatomic ions by the combination of several contributing structures (or forms, [1] also variously known as resonance structures or canonical structures) into a resonance hybrid (or hybrid structure) in valence bond theory.
Clar's rule states that for a benzenoid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (i.e. one with only hexagonal rings), the resonance structure with the largest number of disjoint aromatic π-sextets is the most important to characterize its chemical and physical properties. Such a resonance structure is called a Clar structure. In other words, a ...
In chemistry, the mesomeric effect (or resonance effect) is a property of substituents or functional groups in a chemical compound.It is defined as the polarity produced in the molecule by the interaction of two pi bonds or between a pi bond and lone pair of electrons present on an adjacent atom.

Structure of N-bromosuccinimide, a common brominating reagent in organic chemistry. Like the other carbon–halogen bonds, the C–Br bond is a common functional group that forms part of core organic chemistry. Formally, compounds with this functional group may be considered organic derivatives of the bromide anion.
A valence bond structure resembles a Lewis structure, but when a molecule cannot be fully represented by a single Lewis structure, multiple valence bond structures are used. Each of these VB structures represents a specific Lewis structure. This combination of valence bond structures is the main point of resonance theory.
On the other hand, the nitrobenzene resonance structures have positive charges around the ring system: The nitro group can withdraw electron density through resonance. Attack occurs at the meta position, since the (partial) formal positive charges at the ortho and para positions indicate electron deficiency at these positions.
SnBr 2 is soluble in donor solvents such as acetone, pyridine and dimethylsulfoxide to give pyramidal adducts. [9]A number of hydrates are known, 2SnBr 2 ·H 2 O, 3SnBr 2 ·H 2 O & 6SnBr 2 ·5H 2 O which in the solid phase have tin coordinated by a distorted trigonal prism of 6 bromine atoms with Br or H 2 O capping 1 or 2 faces.
