Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
A resonance structure of the given species is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Resonance structures differ in the position of electrons. The position of atoms remains the same. Curved arrows are used to show the movement of a pair of valence electrons. The formal charge on the atoms changes when the lone pair on an atom is converted to a bonding pair or a bonding pair is converted to a lone pair.
(b)
Interpretation:
A resonance structure of the given species is to be drawn.

(c)
Interpretation:
A resonance structure of the given species is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Resonance structures differ in the position of electrons only; the position of atoms remains the same. Curved arrows are used to show the movement of a pair of valence electrons. The formal charge on the atoms changes when the lone pair on an atom is converted to a bonding pair or a bonding pair is converted to a lone pair.
