Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
All resonance structures of the given species are to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The only difference between the two resonance structures is the location of electrons. Therefore, one resonance structure can be obtained from another just by moving the electrons while the atoms should remain on their place.
(b)
Interpretation:
All resonance structures of the given species are to be drawn.
Concept introduction:

- (a) Draw all resonance contributors of the following ion. In drawing each additional resonance structure, use curved arrows to indicate which pairs of electrons are being shifted. (b) Draw the resonance hybrid. (c) Which c–C bond is the longest?arrow_forwardProblem What amount (mol) of each ion is in each solution?(a) 5.0 mol of ammonium sulfate dissolved in water(b) 78.5 g of cesium bromide dissolved in water(c) 7.42×1022 formula units of copper(II) nitrate dissolved in water(d) 35 mL of 0.84 M zinc chloridePlan We write an equation that shows 1 mol of compound dissociating into ions. (a) We multiply the number of moles of ions by 5.0. (b) We first convert grams to moles. (c) We first convert formula units to moles. (d) We first convert molarity and volume to moles.arrow_forwardI am wondering why there is a need for resoance structures if the molecule already has a neutral charge. Wouldn't these all be insignificant resonance structures (as there is unnecessary charge separation)? Perhaps they are only depicting these structures for the purpose of showing high/low electron density (which was what the question was asking for)? 1 picture shows answer, another shows problem (it is (b)).arrow_forward
- Problem Draw a Lewis structure and identify the octet-rule exception for (a) H3PO4 (draw two resonance forms and select the more important); (b) BFCl2.Plan We draw each Lewis structure and examine it for exceptions to the octet rule.(a) The central atom is in Period 3, so it can have more than an octet.(b) The central atom is B, which can have fewer than an octet of electrons.arrow_forwardDraw the curved arrows to show the resonance structure for the following molecules. ( there are 3 molecules )arrow_forwardWould each end of the bond line structure be carbon? Is problem (a) correct?arrow_forward
- Give a clear handwritten answer with explanationarrow_forwardIn the molecule shown label the indicated bonds with either their hybridization (sp,sp2,sp3) or the type of bond present (sigma, pi )arrow_forward4)On the following molecules, draw the curved arrows to convert the left-hand resonance structure form to the right-hand resonance structure formarrow_forward
- Consider compounds A–D, which contain both a heteroatom and a double bond. (a) For which compounds are no additional Lewis structures possible? (b) When two or more Lewis structures can be drawn, draw all additional resonance structures.arrow_forward3) Draw two more resonance structures of the following compound. Order the structures by increasing stability.arrow_forwarda) Draw the complete structure of propane. (Draw all hydrogen atoms.) b) Draw the structure of propane in skeleton mode or as a bond-line structure. (Do not draw the hydrogen atoms.)arrow_forward
