Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes confuse “resonance” with just “loudness.” A sound can be quiet but still have strong resonance if it is deep and rich. Also, “resonance” is usually uncountable in this sense (we say “good resonance,” not “a resonance”).

Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes use “resonance” only for physical sound and forget it is very common for feelings and ideas. Also, it is easy to confuse “have resonance with” and “resonate with”; both are correct, but “resonate with” is the verb form (for example, “The idea resonates with me”).
Sens
strong emotional or personal impact

Sinonime
impact (A broad term for strong effect; “resonance” more specifically suggests deep, lasting emotional or personal effect, not just any effect.)

Greșeală frecventă:
Learners often think resonance structures are real, separate forms that a molecule switches between. In modern chemistry, resonance means the actual molecule is a single structure (the resonance hybrid) that is best described by combining the contributing structures.

chemistry: electron delocalization in molecules

Sinonime
delocalization (In chemistry, focuses on electrons not being fixed between two atoms; “resonance” is the model used to describe that delocalization using multiple structures.)
Antonime
localization (Describes electrons or charges confined to a specific bond or atom, the opposite of being spread out as in resonance.)

Definiție
In chemistry, a situation where electrons in a molecule are spread out over several atoms, so chemists draw two or more “resonance structures” to show the real bonding.
In chemistry, the delocalization of electrons in a molecule that is described by two or more contributing structures, none of which alone fully represents the actual electronic structure.
