Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
For the given ion, all the resonance structures are to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
If a molecule or ion has one of the following features, another resonance structure will exist:
- A lone pair on an atom adjacent to a multiple bond
- An atom with incomplete octet next to a multiple bond or next to an atom with one or more lone pairs.
- Alternating double/triple and single bonds.
The movement of an electron pair is shown with a curved arrow, starting at the pair and ending on the atom or region where it moves. The movement must be from a relatively electron rich atom or region to a relatively electron deficient atom or region.

- Determine if the following salt is neutral, acidic or basic. If acidic or basic, write the appropriate equilibrium equation for the acid or base that exists when the salt is dissolved in aqueous solution. If neutral, simply write only NR. Be sure to include the proper phases for all species within the reaction. NaN₃arrow_forwardCan I please get help with this?arrow_forwardCan I please get help with this?arrow_forward
