Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The bond order of each carbon-carbon bond in the allyl cation is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Resonance structure is a blend of two or more Lewis structures. Resonance structures are represented by a double headed arrow between the structures. Two resonance structures are possible for the allyl cation.
(b)
Interpretation:
The positive charge which resides on each carbon of the allyl cation is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Resonance structure is a blend of two or more Lewis structures. Resonance structures are represented by a double headed arrow between the structures. Two resonance structures are possible for the allyl cation.
(c)
Interpretation:
The reason as to why the structure on the right is not a reasonable resonance structure is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Resonance structure is a blend of two or more Lewis structures. Resonance structures are represented by a double headed arrow between the structures. Two resonance structures are possible for the allyl cation.

- I'm having trouble with converting lewis diagrams into VSEPR diagrams. I currently have this example of C2BrCl3 which I want to turn into a lewis structure, but I'm not sure what steps I need to do in order to do so. I have the table written down, however, there's two central atoms so what would I do? There seems to be 4 electron domains on the carbon atom and no lone pairs so it would seem like this shape would be tetrahedral. Here's what I have now. Thanks!arrow_forwardWe discussed the solid phase resin using in peptide synthesis. Provide a mechanism, for its formation. DRAW THE MECHANISM.arrow_forwardPlease help. Every time I've asked an expert in the past, it's been wrong :(arrow_forward
