**Question 9:**The two molecules shown below are structurally very similar. **Draw** all resonance structures for each species with curved arrows and **circle** which molecule (A or B) is more stable because it has more resonance structures. *Only use patterns 2 and 3.*---**Diagram Explanation:**- **Molecule A**: A benzene ring with a positive charge at the top, and a methoxy group (–OCH₃) attached at the bottom.- **Molecule B**: A benzene ring with a positive charge at the top, and a methoxy group (–OCH₃) attached to the right side.These diagrams represent aromatic compounds with slight structural differences, affecting resonance and stability.

Answered: 9. The two molecules shown below are…

Expert Solution

Step 1: Define resonance

When all the properties of a molecule cannot be explained by a single structure, we draw more than one possible structure. These more than one structure of a molecule are called resonating structures and the process is called resonance.
