By Lorenzo Magnani (ed.)

The learn of artistic, diagnostic, visible, spatial, analogical, and temporal reasoning has verified that there are numerous methods of appearing clever and inventive reasoning that can not be defined with the assistance simply of conventional notions of reasoning comparable to classical common sense. knowing the contribution of modeling practices to discovery and conceptual switch in technological know-how calls for increasing clinical reasoning to incorporate advanced types of artistic reasoning that aren't regularly profitable and will bring about improper strategies. The research of those heuristic methods of reasoning is located on the crossroads of philosophy, man made intelligence, cognitive psychology, and common sense; that's, on the middle of cognitive technological know-how. There are numerous key parts universal to some of the kinds of model-based reasoning. The time period "model" includes either inner and exterior representations. The versions are meant as interpretations of goal actual platforms, techniques, phenomena, or events. The types are retrieved or built at the foundation of probably gratifying salient constraints of the objective area. furthermore, within the modeling strategy, a variety of kinds of abstraction are used. assessment and edition ensue in gentle of structural, causal, and/or practical constraints. version simulation can be utilized to supply new states and allow assessment of behaviors and different elements. numerous of the papers during this quantity objective at expanding epistemological wisdom concerning the function of model-based reasoning in a variety of clinical projects, different papers handle basic cognitive concerns regarding model-based reasoning and illustrate novel analyses of cognitive "logical" types of model-based reasoning and of the interaction abduction/model-based reasoning/creative inferences. the amount is predicated at the papers that have been provided on the overseas convention Model-Based Reasoning in technology and Engineering: Abduction, Visualization, Simulation (MBR'04), held on the Collegio Ghislieri, collage of Pavia, Pavia, Italy, in December 2004.

Let’s try to draw resonance structures again. Only this time, let’s try to focus on recognizing some patterns. Look at the examples below, and see if you can recognize any of the patterns we just discussed: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. A lone pair next to a pi bond. A lone pair next to a positive charge. A pi bond next to a positive charge. A pi bond between two atoms, where one of those atoms is electronegative. Pi bonds going all the way around a ring. PROBLEMS For each of the following compounds, draw the resonance structures.

Be sure to include formal charges. (Hint: In some cases the lone pairs are drawn and in other cases they are not drawn. 6 DRAWING RESONANCE STRUCTURES—STEP BY STEP Now we have all the tools we need. We know why we need resonance structures and what they represent. We know about what curved arrows are and where not to draw them. We know how to recognize bad arrows that violate the two commandments. We know how to draw arrows that get you from one structure to another, and we know how to draw in formal charges.

2. Can we convert any pi bonds into lone pairs without violating the two commandments? 3. Can we convert any pi bonds into pi bonds without violating the two commandments? We do not need to worry about the fourth possibility (converting a lone pair into a lone pair) because electrons cannot jump from one atom to another. Only the three possibilities above are acceptable. Let’s go through these three steps, one at a time, starting with step 1, converting lone pairs into bonds. Consider the following example: N We ask if there are any lone pairs that we can move to form a pi bond.
