There's another bond through which that plane cuts,
-
which is the one on the right,
-
through those three-membered rings, right?
-
And what do you notice about that bond?
-
It isn't there.
-
There isn't any electron density for that bond.
-
So it's a missing bond.
-
This is what we'll refer to as pathological bonding,
-
It's not what Lewis would have expected, maybe;
-
we don't have Lewis to talk to,
-
so we don't know
-
what he would've thought about this particular molecule.
