Resonance
- However, for some molecules not all the bonding possibilities cannot be represented by a single Lewis structure; these molecules have several contributing or "resonance" structures.
- Each contributing resonance structure can be visualized by drawing a Lewis structure; however, it is important to note that each of these structures cannot actually be observed in nature.
- The structure contains two N-O single bonds and one N=O double bond.
- Therefore, three valid resonance structures can be drawn.
- Because atoms with electric charges are not as stable as atoms without electric charges, these resonance structures will contribute less to the overall resonance structure than a structure with no charges.
-
Vestigial Structures
- These unused structures without function are called vestigial structures.
- Vestigial structures are often homologous to structures that function normally in other species.
- In some cases the structure becomes detrimental to the organism.
- The vestigial versions of a structure can be compared to the original version of the structure in other species in order to determine the homology of the structure.
- Homologous structures indicate common ancestry with those organisms that have a functional version of the structure.

Overview of Organizational Structure
- Business organizations can be structured in various ways, depending on their standing as legal entities, internal structure, and management processes .
- Also called a "product structure," the divisional structure groups each organizational function into a division.
- This structure can combine the best of both separate structures.
- All of these structures are for profit, but there are also non-profit corporations and other structures.
- Some common structures are the functional, divisional, matrix, team, network, and modular structures.

Lewis Structures for Polyatomic Ions
- The Lewis structure of an ion is placed in brackets and its charge is written as a superscript outside of the brackets, on the upper right.
- Non-valence electrons are not represented in Lewis structures.
- After the total number of available electrons has been determined, electrons must be placed into the structure.
- Lewis structures for polyatomic ions are drawn by the same methods that we have already learned.
- When the Lewis structure of an ion is written, the entire structure is placed in brackets, and the charge is written as a superscript on the upper right, outside of the brackets.
-
Matrix Structure
- The matrix structure is a type of organizational structure in which individuals are grouped via two operational frames.
- Organizations can be structured in various ways, and the structure of an organization determines how it operates and performs.
- The matrix structure is a type of organizational structure in which individuals are grouped by two different operational perspectives simultaneously; this structure has both advantages and disadvantages but is generally best employed by companies large enough to justify the increased complexity.
- This example illustrates how inherently complex matrix structures are in comparison to other, more linear structures.
- In a matrix structure, the organization is grouped by both product and function.
-
Functional Structure
- An organization with a functional structure is divided based on functional areas, such as IT, finance, or marketing.
- An organization can be arranged according to a variety of structures, which determine how the organization will operate and perform.
- Functional structures appear in a variety of organizations across many industries.
- This organizational chart shows a broad functional structure at FedEx.
- Explain the functional structure within the larger context of organizational structures in general
