Provide all resonance contributors for molecules 1 & 2 below. (Include the orginal structure provided below to start your answer). For each molecule, draw the actual resonance hybrid structure indicating the atoms that carry a partial charge using the o symbol. (No numerical value needed)

Expert Solution

Step 1: Resonance

Resonance:-

The different structure of a compound divided by different methods of pairing electrons in a fixed atomic skeleton is called resonance of cannonical structures.
The actual structure of the compound is then combination of these structures and hence the compound is called resonance hybride.
A hybrid is more stable than any one of the contributing structures.
The contributing resonance structures are shown by double headed arrows.
Resonating structures are imaginary hypothetical while resonance hybrids is true structure.
Resonance involves the delocalization of lone pairs and pi electrons.
Resonance must follow Lewis octet rule that is C atom never pentavalent and O atom never tetravalent.
In the resonating structure arrangement of atoms remains same there should be difference only in relative arrangement of electrons.
