fixed, thank you

Talked about it a bit here, but it didn’t involve resonance.

I’ve been meaning to write a post called “Formal Charge has its plusses and minuses…”

Thank You! I think this is something that confuses a lot of students.
Great article, very nice summary.

I’d love to see more examples of working through the logic of where the electron density is. This is essential for understanding how and when reactions will take place.

True, I didn’t include the specific details of the arrows because they hadn’t been introduced in this series yet and the exact details weren’t important ; just wanted to show that this was a *plausible* reaction. Sorry if this wasn’t clear.
