Electronic Effects
The effect of electrons that are located in the chemical bonds within the atoms of the molecule is termed an electronic effect. The electronic effect is also explained as the effect through which the reactivity of the compound in one portion is controlled by the electron repulsion or attraction producing in another portion of the molecule.
Drawing Resonance Forms
In organic chemistry, resonance may be a mental exercise that illustrates the delocalization of electrons inside molecules within the valence bond theory of octet bonding. It entails creating several Lewis structures that, when combined, reflect the molecule's entire electronic structure. One Lewis diagram cannot explain the bonding (lone pair, double bond, octet) elaborately. A hybrid describes a combination of possible resonance structures that represents the entire delocalization of electrons within the molecule.
Using Molecular Structure To Predict Equilibrium
Equilibrium does not always imply an equal presence of reactants and products. This signifies that the reaction reaches a point when reactant and product quantities remain constant as the rate of forward and backward reaction is the same. Molecular structures of various compounds can help in predicting equilibrium.
Are the following pairs of structures resonance contributors or different compounds?
Hey, since there are multiple sub parts questions posted, we will answer first three questions. If you want any specific question to be answered then please submit that question only or specify the question number in your message.
The sharing of electrons between two or more atoms known as delocalization of electrons. In order to have delocalized electrons, the system must be planar and have alternative double bonds and single bonds.
a.
In resonance only the movement of electrons are allowed. But here in given ketone and enol structures both the electron and H atom have changed their locations. Hence, both are different compounds.
b.
In resonance only the movement of electrons are allowed. But in given structures both electron and positive charge on C atom have changed their positions. This position change of the positive charge is actually inappropriate the electron delocalization. Hence both are different compounds.
